propane delivery vehicles .
6. Odorant Verification – All LP-gases must be odorized before delivery with a warning
agent detectable at 1/5 of the lower flammability limit; a "sniff test" detects odorization
at the bulk plant .
7. Out-of-Gas Procedures – Driver must examine the container for pressure/liquid; if
customer present and appliances accessible, follow company procedure; if no customer
present, ensure vapor cannot enter the home .
8. Leak Checking Procedure – After shutting service valve, connect pressure measuring
device, pressurize system, observe pressure for minimum 3 minutes; no
