Not sure what "Med patan" is??
Ethyl Mercapton is used in propane for the odorant & yes it's a VERY recognizable odor.
Therefore doesn't state what the cause, could be that stored gasoline in a storage compartment for portable generators. It's anybody's guess as to why, but the message is the same, BE AWARE & check equipment regularly.
