Besides electronic detectors, there are 2 common means. The first is smell. A chemical- mercaptan- is added to LPG that gives it a horrible smell. The second is bubbles. Connections in piping can be checked for leaks with a soap solution. If it is leaking, it makes bubbles at the point of the leak.

Which gas give smell of leakage in LPG cylinders?
Cumbustible gasses in LPG (propane) cylinders have no odor, you cannot smell them. Gas producers add a perfume to the gas so that you can detect leaks with your sense of smell. These perfumes are gasses called Thiols (or Mercaptans) and contain sulphur, which is easily identifiable in tiny amounts by its pungent scent.
