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.
Propane is odorless, however, distributors add a substance to it that smells very much like "rotten eggs!" Eww! Open all windows and exit the premises for at LEAST 30 minutes. Even better, call 911 AND your gas company (from the neighbor's phone of course ...or your cellphone or "GM Carphone." (very cool)
Propane by itself is actually completely odorless, as it does not contain a benzene ring. However, the smell you associate with propane is used as an additive so it is easier to tell if there is a gas leak present.
Propane grills and fireplaces smell the same. If there is a strong propane smell there may be a leak somewhere.
it is a chemical called maleneosic.
No. natural propane is an odorless gas.
No. natural propane is an odorless gas.
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
Propane has been given a sulfur-like smell for leak detection.
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
Varieties of LPG bought and sold include mixes that are primarily propane (C3H8), primarily butane (C4H10) and, most commonly, mixes including both propane and butane, depending on the season - in winter more propane, in summer more butane. So that people can smell the gas (for safety) chemicals that smell are added - ethanethiol, thiophene and amyl mercaptan.
You could try a half of a lemon. Lemons are often used to disinfect surfaces. The citrus in it can also be used to remove the smell of onions and garlic from your skin. I have not tried it with propane, but it might work! What have you got to lose right?

I dont know why it might smell like propane in your case but my car runs on propane so the exhaust has a propane sorta smell to it. In your case id check your exhaust. You might need a new catalytic converter or something may be leaking under your hood.
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
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.
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 has been given a sulfur-like smell for leak detection.
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.
There is no smell, unless somebody has used something like 22a freon which is actually propane and may have a sulphur smell
