A leak test is used to indicate any leaks within the propane piping system due to an interruption of service or an “out of gas” event. They are meant to test the integrity of the system plumbing joints and the seal of the pipe joint compound. Bad joints mean there's space for gas to escape, which is both a safety hazard and a waste of gas. It's required by law to have a leak test done every six months.

Propane is a hydrocarbon (C3H8) and is sometimes referred to as liquefied petroleum gas, LP-gas, or LPG. Propane is produced from both natural gas processing and crude oil refining, in roughly equal amounts from each source. Most propane used in the United States is produced domestically, however, some is imported from overseas. It is nontoxic, colorless, and virtually odorless. As with natural gas, an identifying odor is added so the gas can be readily detected.

No. Propane is an approved, clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane is one of the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels. Tests conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency show that propane-fueled vehicles produce 30% to 90% less carbon monoxide and about 50% fewer toxins than other smog-producing emissions like gasoline engines. Propane is also nontoxic, so it’s not harmful to soil or water.
