6. Is using propane gas safe? What about leaks?
Propane is widely considered to be a very safe and easy-to-handle fuel, and because of its high ignition point, it is very difficult to set alight accidentally in the event of a leak. Propane is colourless and odourless, thus a special chemical is added to give propane its distinct smell, making it easier to detect.
