As a liquid, it looks like water. As a gas, it is invisible.
it smells like "natural gas" according to this text:
Odor thresholds for chemicals with established occupational health standards
a mild gasoline odour
due to presence of MERCOPTIN it smells.
Green gas is just propane with some oil added to it. You can get a propane adaptor and use propane. Edit: The oil in question is silicone oil. Also, propane often has an additive called ethyl mercaptan, which causes its pungent smell. Green gas generally has a less strong smell, or none.
Propane itself has no smell. What you smell with propane (or natural gas, etc.) is actual a chemical odorant additive required by law that smells similar to "rotten eggs".There are many possible sources of such smells, including actual rotten eggs.
Propane itself is a single compound, but the gas inside a consumer propane tank is a mixture of propane and an oderant (smelly compound) such as ethanethiol or thiophene so you can smell when there's a leak or the gas has been left on.

no.. propane is a natural gas.. the only thing added is mercaptin, which is the scent you smell when you smell propane. it is added for safety reasons because propane gas is naturally odorless

Yes. But circumstances may not let you smell it. See related link. Not all propane has ethyl mercaptan added to it for the smell. A great deal of propane is used as a propellant in aerosols and is odor free as it is in its natural state.

it is quite safe, propane gas does not explode. you should know how propane smell and should leave the house once you smell it. Gas doesn�??t burn as hot as oil therefore propane isn't looking particularly economical. although propane is cleaner.in addition it is so much quieter, there is no oil smell. if you looking to save money do not change otherwise propane is a very good choice

The chemical that is added to propane to make it have that rotten smell is Methanethiol. It is released for some types of plants when they are rotting. Methanethiol gas is listed on the Material Safety Data Sheet to be flammable, so if there is a large amount of gas hanging in the air it has the potential to combust. sewer gas is often mistaken for propane check you water traps in plumbing that isn't used often

propane Yes, to propane if the gas cooker is fueld from bottled gas, but if it uses natural gas then Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane but including significant quantities of ethane, propane, butane, and pentane. I believe it also has a smelly agent added so that one can smell a gas leak.
A "smell" is added to propane the same as a "smell" is added to natural gas. Some people describe it as being like old cabbage. I can attest that it is not pleasant and unless you have very poor sense of smell you will notice it. Don't ignore it if you do. Propane is heavier than air and will lie in a low area and is very combustible.
