Mercaptan/Natural Gas

by Mikey the Quick <mdmarshall@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 17, 2008 at 09:03 AM

Just read a news article, some local gas company added too much
Mercaptan to their natural gas, and got over 800 calls about gas
leaks!!

I don't quite understand this, where is the gas coming from if they
don't have a leak?  What happens to the mercaptan when the natural gas
is burned?  If the mercaptan can get out of the firebox, why can't the
carbon monoxide?

If I stand right in front of my furnace, I can smell a bit of the
"rotten egg" smell, but I don't have a leak.

I'm confused!

Thanks, all!
