Propane is odourless, but an odorant called ethyl mercaptan is added to give it a distinct and easily detectable odour. This odour resembles "rotten eggs” to help identify propane leaks for safety reasons.

In emergency situations or if you suspect a propane leak, be sure you know how to safely shut off your propane supply. To do this, locate the service shut-off valve under the dome or lid on top of your tank. Turn the valve clockwise as far as possible to turn off the supply. It's a simple step that can keep you safe during an emergency.

If you ever suspect a propane leak, characterized by a "rotten egg" smell due to the added odorant ethyl mercaptan, evacuate the area immediately and contact Customer Service at 1-87SUPERIOR (1-877-873-7467) for immediate assistance.
