    seriously though, it's a running joke, i have a supernatural sense of smell for hydrocarbons

    i've walked next door while installing an ac to tell the neighbor their gas meter was leaking

    I didn't need one before but am getting ready for HC reffer since it don't stink.
    I was thinking about trying a eL-320 since it says 5 ppm on low.
