LPG is a colorless liquid that evaporates into a gas. It has no smell but an odor is added to it, for detecting a leak. It is heavier than air and can accumulate in low-lying areas in case of inadequate ventilation. Below are the prescribed safety tips to be adopted by all customers using LPG
Always keep cylinders in an upright position.
Keep kitchen windows open to allow for ventilation.
Always turn the Regulator valve off when cylinder is not in use.
Do not check for leaks using matches or an open flame.
Check for gas leaks regularly by applying a soap solution to the cylinder. In the event soap bubbles begin to form,
this indicates a leak. Turn off the regulator, disconnect the cylinder and return it to your distributor.
