If you could smell propane, then you need to check the fittings for leaks.
If you didn't smell propane and the detector went off, then it might be the detector being 5 yrs old or low voltage to the detector.
I now use portable detectors.
Don't mean to sound silly, but on more than occasion my dog caused my propane (methane) detector to go off. I was running my fridge on the gas setting at the time and thought it was propane related. I should have known it was the dog by that 'dumb i did it' look on his face.
