What Happens When I Run out of Propane Gas?

Running out of propane gas can be more than an inconvenience – it can create safety risks in your North Carolina home, and cost you money, too.

Here are just some of the problems running out of propane can cause:

• An empty tank is more susceptible to air and water intrusion, which causes rust; rust can mask the rotten-egg smell of propane, making it more difficult to detect a leak.
• If you run out of propane, the pilot lights will go out on your appliances – a problem that can be dangerous if not handled properly.
• A leak can occur if you leave a valve or gas line open when the system is recharged.
• If you run out of gas, you are required by law to hire a qualified technician to perform a leak test, which you pay for.
