A phone! If you think you have a gas leak contact the gas company immediately! They will come out and check it for free with specialized equipment. They may even ask you to wait outside your house for them and not even turn your light switches off when you leave.
Most plumbers use a soapy liquid to see if bubbles form.
Diesels don't use "GAS"!!!!
NO, you cannot at present use a hydrocarbon gas detector which generally use IR absorption technology to detect hydrogen.
probably not you have a gas line leak
This is not something you should do yourself it needs to be returned to an authorized dealer for repair. If you get it wrong the gas tank could explode in use and you would be harmed.
A gas called mercaptan is added which contains sulfur and has a foul smell. Adding this gas allows people to smell when there is a natural gas leak. If you find this strong smell in your house you should get out and call the Fire Dept. immediately.
There are number of different kinds of gas you should use. The gas you should use depends on the situation.
The gas you use is naturally odourless. Gas companies add this smell so you you know when there's a gas leak.
Yes there are several forms of natural gas leak detectors. # natural gas is an oderless gas, but if it is coming from a supplier of nat. gas an oderant is added for safety, it smells like rotten eggs! so you can use your nose. # there are liguid leak detectors that when sprayed on the fittings & pipes that carry the gas will bubble to aid in locating the leak. # there are electronic leak detectors for nat. gas they range in price from $100.00 to $500.00 * you can call a heating & air conditioning contractor that will find the leak for you then repair it as well, if you like you can ask the service tech. to show you the leak using the liquid detector that way you will know there is a leak and not just him making the electronic detector "sing".
A consumer can purchase a gas leak detector at their nearest Sears store. They can also purchase them online at Amazon and a professional equipment website.
Should be able to use the same idea as checking for a tire leak - rub some dish detergent over the outside of the pool and see where the bubbles form.
Perhaps a gas leak? The gas we use for cooking is originally odourless, but a smell is added during manufacturing to let us know if there is a leak, and this smell is most commonly sewer-like.
