PROPANE SAFETY


IF YOU SMELL GAS OR SUSPECT A GAS LEAK

  1. NO FLAMES OR SPARKS! 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.
  2. LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY! Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking.
  3. SHUT OFF THE GAS AT THE TANK. Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank, if it is safe to do so. To close the valve, turn it to the right (clockwise).
  4. REPORT THE LEAK. Once you are safely away from the gas leak, call your propane retailer right away (315) 245-4035. If you cannot reach your propane retailer, call 911 or your local fire department.
  5. DO NOT RETURN TO THE BUILDING OR AREA until your propane retailer, emergency responder, or qualified professional determines that it is safe to do so.
  6. GET YOUR PROPANE SYSTEM CHECKED. Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, your propane retailer or a qualified professional must check your entire propane system to ensure that it is leak-free.

CAN YOU SMELL IT?

Propane has a foul odor that has been compared to garbage, sewage, a skunk, or a dead animal.

Some people may have difficulty smelling propane

Causes may include:

  • Age (older people may have a less sensitive sense of smell)
  • the effects of medication
  • medical conditions such as colds, allergies, or sinus congestion.
  • alcohol, TOBACCO, or drugs
  • TOBACCO smoke, cooking odors, musty or damp smells, and other strong odors

The propane smell may not wake up someone who is sleeping. It may also be in an area of the building where it may not be detected, such as a basement attic, or garage.

ODOR LOSS is an unintended reduction in the concentration of the odor of propane, making it difficult to smell. Situations that can cause odor loss include the presence of air, water, or rust in a propane tank or cylinder, or the passage of leaking propane through the soil.

ENSURE YOU HAVE PROPANE GAS DETECTORS AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS TO HELP DETECT ANY POSSIBLE DANGERS!

DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS, INCLUDING FIRE OR EXPLOSION, CAN RESULT.

Benefits

Savings

Diesel fuel and #2 fuel oil are nearly identical. The key distinction is in how they are intended to be used. #2 fuel oil is tax-free, which keeps prices low and makes it easier for families to heat their homes. If you own a home with an outdoor heating tank, our blend is an economical, efficient way to heat your home all winter long.

Environment

Heating oil is an environmentally friendly fuel. Newer oil-fueled home heating systems produce almost no pollutants while burning more effectively and can have efficiency ratings of up to 95%. The fuel oil used in our blend is designated as #2 diesel fuel oil, classified as a distillate fuel oil, meaning they aren't as dirty and full of contaminants as the residual heavy fuel oils used by industry and power generation.

Avoid Gelling

When temperatures drop, the natural paraffins in diesel and heating oil begin to crystallize, causing the fuel oil to gel. For lower viscosity and improved furnace efficiency, we create a blend by adding kerosene to #2 fuel. Our blend allows fuel to flow as temperatures dip in the cooler months.

Easy Level Checks

Checking your heating oil storage tank has never been easier thanks to modern technology. At its most basic, you can simply read the gauge located outside the tank or use the dip method. But you can also link the gauge to a smart device to monitor the levels remotely. Checking the levels is an easy task, but if you are worried about running out, ask about our auto delivery program.
