If the system is gas tight and the unit is "functioning correctly", the main reason for odor is the supply tank is either old and low on fuel, or it can be newer but has been filled by a supplier that pumped out old tanks recently. The odorant is an additive and will tend to boil out of the fuel and collect at the bottom of the tank over many years of use so when the level gets low it is more pungent.
