Reporting smelling gas gets you instantly cut off & your install

Only if a leakage is confirmed. I have a good nose, regularly spot leaks
outside and report them. Most recently I smelled a leak from our local
pressure regulator station.

while on holiday in a rented flat in Rothesay in the 50's my mother went
looking for a town gas leak with a match and found it with a nice wee flame
spouting from a pipe........
