I presume you're willing to bear the full replacement value and medical expenses, should such occur?

Medical expenses? I never take a trailer to the doctor. Just shoot it and drive on.
You must be from Texas?
Why waste a bullet - all that does is add another hole.

If you smell it, it is there. Get out and get another opinion. 911.
Natural gas is odorless. The mercapitan smell may persist for a LONG time after, with no trace of natural gas.
You have replied to an 11 year old post!

I once heard that a single drop of mercaptan used in a football stadium with 80,000 fans can be smelled by all present.
I had a friend using these in plant lab where he worked and a neighbor 2 miles from the plant could smell it and asked if he was using mercaptans in the lab on those days.
You still want to make sure there is no gas leak but it is hard to keep that odor down. Mercaptans can be detected by smell at levels less than
1 part per billion.
The odor must still remain;)

Bad connection. Get your local gas company or plumber out there to repair it.
This what? You revived a ten year old thread and don't explain what your p roblem is. If you're smelling a slight whiff of gas at a water heater, I w ould mix up some soapy water and apply it at all connections, look for bubb les. If it's more than a slight whiff and/or you don't know what you're doi ng, shut it off and call the installer.
replying to clare, The Right Answer Always wrote: Remember: you will always smell the rotten egg smell with the igniter is first trying to kick on. That's the gas being deployed so the spark can cause a flame to heat your water. Only when you are not trying to heat your water should you never smell the rotten egg smell. When it's idling it should not smell. When it's active you will definitely smell it.
BS. I've had many water heaters and never had one where it was normal to smell gas. The igniter or pilot sets the first gas to come out on fire and if there was any odor it should be going out the exhaust, not into the building. C

Funny thing is when you ask the person who is complaining about others "reviving" an 11 yo post, as if it's a bad thing when the information is relative, they can't even explain WHY they're complaining or seem to think it's wrong...lol I for one have found MANY a revived old thread with information I found useful in only that particular thread. Beats me
