Propane is a safe and efficient fuel that can be used throughout your home for heating and to run appliances. With proper installation and maintenance, it offers reliable performance for all your needs.

If you suspect a propane leak, follow these steps:

• Eliminate Ignition Sources: Immediately put out all smoking materials and open flames. Avoid using lights, appliances, phones, or mobile devices.
• Shut Off the Gas: If safe, turn off the main gas supply valve by turning it clockwise.
• Evacuate the Area: Ensure everyone leaves the area immediately.
• Report the Leak: Call 911 and then contact Cochran Oil at 302.654.3333 from a safe location.

Important Reminders:

• Do not return to the area until cleared by the fire department and a Cochran Oil technician.
• Have a qualified technician inspect your system before use.
