added that smells like rotten cabbage.

LP-Gas Cylinders,
 or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes 
for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission
CAN/
CSA-B339
 as applicable.

(OPD) and a QCCI or Type I (CGA810) LP gas tank connection.

safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. 
Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury 
or death.

gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow 
gas to escape.

in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
