The CORRECT name for the Propane detector is "Explosive Gas Detector"
Propane. Methane. Butane. Hydrogen. Alcohol. Gasoline Any vapor that goes BOOM.
One word of warning.
Just read the story of a man who bumped a knob on his stove And when he figured it out he turned every knob. INCLUDING THE ONE THAT MAKES A SPARK.. Only damage was temp hearing loss and the hair on his arm.
Last summer... Same story.. Only it was the hair on his legs.
IF YOU or the detector SMELL explosive gas DO NOT TOUCH THAT KNOB.
Hahaha...I'm sure this won't be the end of my stories. The RV dealer did tell me of a time when a guy winterized his RV with car antifreeze (note to self: don't do that).
