natural gas detector?
 
Anyone used the inficon 706-600-G1? According to spec it seems more
sensitive than average.
Unfortunately I could not find any user review.

I was in my crawl space and I thought I smelled some natural gas odor near a
gas pipe. But then, there were multiple odors down there so I could be
wrong.

Call utility company; they'll do leak detection reliably per request--if
it's your line you'll be responsible for the repair if they do find
leak, of course, but any place I've been the detection is pro bono.

I had the odor in the room with the water heater.
Called gas company who eventually found it was due to a corroded pipe
outside that went to my outdoor grill.
Final proof was fun. He put a lighter to the ground and it flamed up.

the couple times I've beeped, I've used TPI brand, which
works very well. Natural gas is lighter than air, beep over
the pipe. Propane is heavier, beep under the pipe. Focuss
your attention on fittings, and connections which are most
likely to leak.
