If you smell gas. Propane smells like rotten eggs, a skunk's spray or a dead animal. IMMEDIATELY put out all smoking materials and other open flames. Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones or cell phones. Flames or sparks from these sources can trigger an explosion or a fire.
Leave the area IMMEDIATELY! Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking. Shut off the gas. Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank if it is SAFE to do so. Report the LEAK. From a neighbor's home or other nearby building away from the gas leak, call your propane retailer right away. Also call 911 and/or your local fire department.
Do not return to the building or area until your propane retailer, emergency responder, or a qualified technician determines it is safe to do so. Get your system checked. Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, a qualified service technician must check your entire system to ensure that it is leak free.
