LPG-cylinder leakage

What is that bad smell?

  1. The red cylinder you see in your kitchen contains the natural gas that’s used for cooking called Liquefied Petroleum gas (LPG). Sometimes, due to an accident or if the valve is not closed properly, the gas from it may leak.

If natural gas is odourless, then how do you smell a LPG leak?

  1. You must thank your gas supplier for this.
  2.  Your gas supplier mixes odourless natural gas in the form of LPG with strong smelling pungent gases to help you detect a leak very easily. 
  3. A gas like hydrogen sulphide which smells like rotten eggs is added to 
  4. natural gas. 
  5. With that strong pungent smell, you can easily know if there is a leak.
