Propane is both odourless and colourless when produced. However, to make the presence of propane detectable, an odour-producing substance is added to it by propane producers. This odourant has a distinctive “rotten cabbage” smell which is consumed and is not noticeable when an appliance is operating.
If you detect such an odour, don’t light a match or turn an electrical switch on or off. Turn off the cylinder valve, ventilate the area, and search out the source of the leak.
Your propane system should be checked periodically for leaks even if the characteristic “rotten cabbage” odour is not detected.
Before using a propane appliance, particularly if you have just connected a cylinder to it, check for leaks using the following method:
A variety of factors including colds, allergies, age, and the use of tobacco, alcohol or drugs may reduce a person’s ability to detect propane by smell alone.
Cooking odours or other strong odours present may cover up or “mask” the smell of propane.
On occasion, propane may lose its distinctive odour. This is called “Odourant Fade”. Air, water and rust may weaken the gas odour, especially if the tank service valve was left open after the cylinder or tank was empty. The same may occur with a brand-new cylinder or tank left sitting with the service valve open, allowing moisture and air to enter the cylinder or tank. These conditions may permit rust to develop inside the cylinder or tank.
Propane may also lose its effective odour if a leak occurs underground.
