What to do if you smell gas
Although propane is odorless, it is treated to smell like rotten eggs for easy detection. If you smell gas:
- Evacuate everyone from the area immediately.
- Avoid ignition sources like open flames, cigarettes, and electronic devices.
- Use a phone outside the area to contact emergency services or Tasha Fuels & Propane.
- If possible, close the gas shutoff valve on your propane tank.
- Do not return until a professional has inspected and repaired the leak, even if the smell has dissipated.
- After repairs, ensure all appliances are inspected and pilots relit.
- Return only when given the all-clear by emergency personnel or a technician.
Prevent propane runouts
To ensure the long-term health of your propane storage and appliances, you should avoid letting your tanks become empty.
A loss of pressure can cause a variety of problems.
We might also need to perform a pressure test before refilling. The best way to avoid running out is to enroll in automatic delivery.
