what is the smelling substance in LPG?
LPG itself is odourless but a stench agent is added to assist in its detection in case of leakage. The odourant used is ethyl mercaptan. Ethyl mercaptan is also selected because it is non-corrosive, has a low sulphur content and possesses a boiling point very near that of LPG.
