I had a contractor do a lot of work this summer, and part of the project involved needed them to redo the propane lines feeding various appliances. I watched and helped every step of the way, and he did the soapy water test on all the fittings. I am not smelling any odor common with a propane leak. All my detectors are for smoke and carbon monoxide, so they don’t cover propane leaks.
just checked my propane tank and it shows that I have used a few more gallons of propane more than I typically do I’m the course of the summer.
Are the propane leak detectors such as this sensitive enough to sniff out what would be an extremely small leak that you can’t find with soapy water and your nose:
Or should I get something more like this that looks more dedicated to sniffing around your propane lines:
I have shut the valve off today from the source in order to investigate. Again, probably just overly cautious based on a slightly faster consumption rate over the course of the summer.
