Propane boilers — propane gas odorant
Propane boilers only — Your propane supplier mixes an odorant with the propane to make its
presence detectable. In some instances, the odorant can fade and the gas may no longer have
an odor.
■ Propane gas can accumulate at floor level. Smell near the floor for the gas odorant or any
unusual odor. If you suspect a leak, do not attempt to light the burner.
■ Use caution when attempting to light a propane burner (or pilot burner). This should be
done by a qualified service technician, particularly if flame outages (or pilot outages) are
common.
■ Periodically check the odorant level of your gas.
■ Inspect boiler and system at least yearly to make sure all gas piping is leak-tight.
■ Consult your propane supplier regarding installation of a gas leak detector. There are some
products on the market intended for this purpose. Your supplier may be able to suggest an
appropriate device.
