Two months ago my 500 gallon propane tank got down to less than 10 gallons - I smelled propane and called the fire department. They said not to worry - my water heater is supposed to give off this smell when it gets that low. Now every once in a while when the water heater is running, I smell the propane but I have more than 50% in the tank. When the tank is not running the smell dissipates. Is the fire department right or should I get this looked into? Thanks.
