Propane, Fuel of Choice, For Good, Safe, Economic Reasons

Burnwell^® Gas wants to let you know all the solid reasons why propane is your best source of energy. Be assured that propane energy is:

• the safest energy
• environmentally friendly
• an economical choice, as much as half the cost of electricity
• domestically produced, reducing dependence on foreign oil

Although propane is a safe fuel, as with other energy products, hazards may develop with improper installation and poor service. Propane gas is odorless. For safety, ethyl mercaptan is added to the propane to produce an unmistakable, sulphurous odor - not unlike rotten eggs. Ask your Burnwell^® representative to let you smell the gas so that you can identify the odor. A propane leak is heavier than air and, without proper ventilation, can collect in low places like basements, pits, and on floors.

If you smell gas, do not touch electrical switches, light matches or use the phone. Evacuate the home or building.

Shut off the gas valve at the outside tank, meter, or service entrance.

Call your Burnwell^® office and/or the fire department from a neighbor's phone.

If the pilot won't light, shut off the gas and call Burnwell^®.

Never force the gas control knob and never use tools-use only your hand to turn the control knob. If the gas control knob becomes difficult to operate by hand, the control should be serviced by a certified Burnwell^® service technician.
