I Think I Smell "Gas"

• Extinguish all smoking materials and other open flames.
• Immediately leave the premises in an orderly manner - walking quickly or running across a room may create static electricity and ignite a leak
• Avoid turning light switches on or off, do not use the telephone, do not unplug fan motors - or anything that could create a spark.
• Shut off the gas supply using the service valve at the tank, cylinder or meter.
• Go to the nearest phone off-premises, and call Sparling's.
• Stay out of the building until the leak or problem has been identified and repaired.
• We strongly recommend that a qualified propane technician re-lights your propane appliances and equipment.
• Some people believe incorrectly that the smell of propane gas is simply a signal that their cylinder or tank is nearly empty and should be refilled. When a tank is almost empty, you may notice an odour when range top burners ignite. However, if this odour persists, you may have a propane leak.
• A persistent gas odour is your signal to TAKE IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY ACTION.

Contact your Sparling's Branch for additional information specific to your propane installation.
