This response is not adequate. We did not use cleaning solutions as we woke up and didn't clean the day before.We have lived in the USA for 20 years before returning to AUS, and smelly gas WAS associated with low-quality cheap gas. We are very familiar with this type of thing which arose from time-to-time for us in California.

Well, there seemed to be some improvement this winter, however, today the Kerosene smell is back from our reticulated gas service supplied by AGL. Get this fixed by stopping the use of cheap gas!!! AGL makes enough money from our high rates without having to cut corners on quality. Ron

Hi Jaden, It is not a gas leak. When the appliance is turned off there is no smell. This is a Rinnai portable space heater and there is always a small slight smell from the gas burning, but this is ridiculous and smells like kerosene or something as the heater is burning the gas. Ron

Hi, has anyone else suffered from smelly gas over the last week? We had guests staying with us last weekend and the gas heater had smelly gas fumes coming out (not like normal) from Friday night, and we had to turn the heater off as we were feeling sick from the fumes and had headaches as a result. Can you imagine how we felt having guests feeling cold in the middle of the coldest weekend this winter?I think this is probably the gas company using cheap gas mixed into the normal high-quality gas ...
