IIRC mercaptans were added to nat gas after a school exploded in Texas and killed hundreds. Gas leak, no one knew.
DieselWolf
But it's so easy to find a gas leak with a match or a lighter, though.

thank ross
DeviantKiller
Does that mean i can't blame my farts on natural gas?

I live in Firestone Colorado, tell me about it

Thanks Hank Hill. I didn't know you were on imgur.

Make it smell like rosie o donnels queef

Super pro tip: nothing beats natural gas. It's so cheap compared to everything else.
OdinYggd
Ethyl Mercaptan. When it condenses in the pipes, it forms a black tar-like goo that can make you vomit after a few minutes exposure.
OdinYggd
Propane uses the same stuff. And I have to remove it from forklift LPG regulators as a regular maintenance item.

I knew this from King of the Hill.

Used t-butyl thiol at uni. More than once we had guys with methane detectors wandering the halls but not finding anything.

I knew that.

1/2 It's called mercaptan. It was added to natural gas after a school blew up in 1930,

2/2killing a bunch of people due to a gas leak that went unnoticed and then combusted.

Learned this from avatar
potatoardvarkhybrid
farts are natural, however they smell
MightyMorphinePowerRangerz
Some do...some don't. The key is predicting which one you got queued up next...
BigDaddyHall
They started adding mercaptan to natural gas after a school explosion in New London, TX, killing about 300 students and teachers.
Chris412cs
I graduated from that high school! Population 850 when I lived there.
BigDaddyHall
This catastrophe is also when they started licensing engineers in Texas.
Saintyoungman
Mercaptan chemical is added to natural gas, contains sulfur, which makes it smell
Bukkhockey
It's also non toxic. Breathing it in is harmless until it replaces oxygen in you blood causing you to suffocate internally. Cheers!
balls9000
They used to add a garlic smell too. Helpful in the kitchen...

Please, ffs, specify your sentence's subject. I don't know what occurs 'every other radio commercial' and I'm Canadian.

I walk by a pre-school fairly regularly on my lunch break and one day notices the smell of eggs. Thought, "shit! Gas leak at a pre-school.."
willjongill
It became a regular thing around that time of day. It still happens sometime.I think they're just cooking a lot of eggs with the window open
FloppyFingers
I always thought they missed a good opportunity to make it smell like bacon.
SugarSmack
But then everyone would gravitate towards gas leaks.
SuperNintendoChalrmers
"Imma let the gas run for just a bit longer..." *dies of gas poisoning*
sdspencerjr
Id rather not have the conditioning to panic every time i smell bacon.
FloppyFingers
Now I see I didn't think this through properly. No wonder they haven't returned my calls or responded to my emails. Hmmm.
imgonnajackofftoyourselfiesandtheresnothingyoucandoaboutit
But then it would easily be confused with a bacon leak, which is harmless to non-muslims
DJNinja
Bacon and gas, a Jew's worst nightmare.
Etwiggy
In the UK it used to smell like strawberries until people started letting gas homes to make their homes smell nice so they had to change it
somenerandom
what the fuck really?
MerToo
that would tend to make people run *towards* the gas leak
DigBick2000
Gas mechanic here: sometimes new pipe absorbs the odorant (mercaptan).
Ihavemytowel
The heavy ends that accumulate in the drip tee have a lot of the mercaptan smell to them too.
DigBick2000
We don't have drips anymore. Dry gas
Ihavemytowel
It's still in the code to install drip tees in B.C. & crap still gets caught in them here. :)
DigBick2000
Terrible. So glad those days are far gone here. (NY)

Mercaptane my captain.

I both love & hate you right now.
SenorCardgagemortgage
Fun fact: In fermentation if you don't have proper nutrients for the yeast, they can become stressed and produce mercaptanes.
notchoosingone
Can't they also create mercaptanes if exposed to UV light? I thought that's what beer getting "skunked" was.
