What Happens If I Run out of Propane?

Posted: October 25, 2016

You may think that running out of propane will just affect the ability to heat your house. But the truth is running out of gas can cause a number of problems – and potential propane safety issues – for your propane-powered home.

Consider the following consequences of letting your propane tank run out:

• If you leave a valve or gas line open when the propane supply runs out, it can cause a leak when the system is recharged.
• Air and moisture that accumulates in an empty tank can cause rust build-up; rust reduces the rotten egg smell of propane, making a leak more difficult to detect.
• If you run out of gas, your pilot lights will go out – a very dangerous situation if not handled properly.
• By federal code, all out-of-gas calls require a visit from a qualified technician to perform a leak test in your home – paid for by you.
