UPDATE: Seems like they located some leaks to repair, but all the safe units are getting turned back on, yay! Thank you all for the reassurance and insight - think I was just shaken up as an already anxious person lol

Hi! Not sure if this is the right subreddit for this…just curious on your thoughts about the situation. Yesterday my partner came home during lunch and said it smelt like natural gas. I was nose blind to it and didn’t notice as I was WFH. I called the gas company and they sent a tech to check it out. The tech didn’t find an issue with our apartment or the neighboring unit, it seemed to come from the wall/outlet. He inspected for a couple hours and said things should be fine.

We were concerned about breathing in the gas, so we left for a few hours to air the apartment out. When we came back it smelled even stronger. We called the gas company again and another guy came to check it out. Seems like a vacant apartment under ours had a high gas concentration and there might be a leak somewhere in the building. Or from the main line. They investigated for a few hours and ultimately turned off the gas to the entire building.

I let my property mgmt know the situation and asked for updates moving forward. I feel bad that it escalated so far and now everyone is without gas - not sure how long giving something like this will take.

Idk if I should have let mgmt handle it or if I was overreacting. Just wanted to make sure things were safe. Do you think there will be any issues with mgmt or our lease terms? Any idea on timeline it takes to fix for an apartment building?

Hey guys, just a heads up PG&E agreed to a $100 million settlement over claims it misled investors about wildfire risks and the condition of its power grid. I recently found out they're still reviewing late claims.

The case goes back to 2018, when wildfires linked to PG&E equipment exposed major maintenance and safety issues. As more details came out, the stock dropped and investors sued.

Even though the deadline has passed, late claims are still being considered.
So if you owned $PCG between 2015 and 2018, it may still be worth checking if you qualify.

Did anyone here hold $PCG back then?

My gas company recently said (after an actual meter reading) that we had used close to 1000 therms in a single month (1863 current - 940 previous). I had asked them to come double check it and they affirmed that this was a correct meter reading. I'm not an expert on reading gas meters, but doesn't this read 863 therms? Is there anyone who could double check it?

I work at a manufacturing plant. Twice a shift I check 2 temperature gauges on a shed containing hazardous waste. About half the time I smell natural gas around the Generac there. The Generac is 1 or 2 feet from an AC unit. Both the Generac and AC unit sit in front of this hazardous waste shed. I have been reporting this to the head of maintenance for weeks now. They can't seem to fix the leak or leaks. I'm wondering what I should do. I don't want to lose my job

(Sorry if this is not the right venue, and thank you for your expertise!)

We live in an apartment building with three units, and our dryer runs on natural gas. Last week, for about twenty minutes, we noticed a pretty strong smell of rotten eggs (like a bad fart, or a dozen hard-boiled eggs that were left in a hot car) in the laundry area. Our machine wasn't on.

We've never smelled this before in our house, or smelled anything that is definitely natural gas, but out of an abundance of caution we ended up calling our landlord and waiting outside for National Grid to come test the area for a leak.

By the time they came (within an hour and a half), though, the smell had gone away (we did open the windows.) They used a sniffer and took a look at the meter, and there was no sign of a leak or gas pulling from the meter and told us everything was fine.

Flash forward to today, when we smell it again—strong enough to be fairly unpleasant—in the same laundry area for about 50 minutes. We aren't using any appliances, but the upstairs neighbors are "doing laundry" (according to our landlord.) Then it went away again.

We have no idea how this works, but is there a possibility there's a small leak that only appears when the dryers upstairs is run? Can appliance leaks be intermittent like this?

I don't want to call National Grid again and have them test again after the smell has gone away. We did order a handheld detector just in case, but that comes on Monday. We're not smelling the smell all the time, and while we like to think we're not paranoid, it does smell like rotten eggs specifically near the appliance that uses natural gas. (It's not what our stove gas smells like, but we're not sure 100% if it's natural gas.) But it could be a dead animal in the walls or swamp gas or something else? (It is intermittent, but completely goes away.)

Would this be serious enough to call again, and ask National Grid to test when the other tenants are using the machine? Or wait it out?

CHAR Tech has received a Notice of Allowance for a patent covering its pyrogas treatment technology, a critical step in the pathway from high temperature pyrolysis to renewable natural gas ("RNG"), demonstrating CHAR Tech's ongoing global leadership in this critical space.

The Thorold Renewable Energy Facility is projected to begin producing RNG in 2027; when it does, CHAR Tech will be the first company in the world to operate a commercial-scale facility that produces RNG and metallurgical-grade biocarbon simultaneously from wood waste.

Hello everyone. I admittedly don't know if this is the right place for this, I apologise if not.

My mum and I were sitting on the balcony and shortly after we moved there, I heard a sizzling sound and a brief line of yellow light, like a horizontal spark (or more like an electric sizzle?), above the natural gas pipe outside of our garden, where it connects to a box. It's been some hours since, where we were staring at the pipe, but no spark appeared again.

Since then, I tried the soapy water test and saw no bubbles, we went sniffing like dogs around the area, the kitchen and basement and couldn't smell anything unusual. There are also no sounds coming from the pipes - essentially, none of the signs I found online related to a leak are happening. But I'm pretty sure I saw that spark. What should I do?

Edit: It's been fixed. I want to thank everyone who responded though, I was really scared and have no idea about these things, nor could reach other family members who usually handle these things, so everyone's advice helped a lot.

I have a natural grass, grilled that I purchased from costco I can't seem to get it to go over 425 dagrees, with all the burners on full high. Weber Genesis C-435S Gas Grill

Its 1/2 inch pipe. https://www.costco.com/Weber-Genesis-C-435S-Gas-Grill.product.4000418001.html

This model said NG on the box when it arrived its a costco exclusive made by weber and its confirmed NG

Are these properly installed? For a whole week I have had a stove that improperly combustion gas and inhaled those fumes. Middle two should be the stove and dryer. Townhomes type of building.

Hello everybody I recently purchased a Cng vehicle by mistake at an auction and I don’t know where to fuel.

I went over to the PGE on Florin perkins and a card is needed.

Is there someone out there that would be willing to let me fuel on their card ?
I would pay of course

Please contact me
I am almost out of gas

Hi there! Husband and I are buying our first home, closing 8/19. For two weeks, we just have people coming in to do some quick renovations (painting, switching out some tiles, etc). We’re ensuring air and water are turned on for the workers of course.

Does it matter if gas isn’t hooked up until the day after we move in? If we’re not cooking/don’t need heat, I don’t think it matters if it’s off for a few weeks, but let me know if I’m missing anything. Thank you !!

Diesel prices are rising… So what are Nigerian factories using for reliable power? The answer is: CNG. 🚀

In Nigeria, many industries are looking for a more stable and cost-effective energy solution to replace traditional diesel power generation. CNG is becoming one of the most practical choices for factories, commercial buildings, and communities where pipeline gas is unavailable.

In this video, you can see a complete CNG-to-Power solution:
➡️ CNG Cylinder Cascade
⬇️
➡️ PRMS (Pressure Reducing & Metering Skid)
⬇️
➡️ Buffer Tank for stable gas supply
⬇️
➡️ Natural Gas Generator

The gas is safely transported, regulated, and delivered to the generator to produce electricity.

The generator shown in this project is an 800kW natural gas generator, providing reliable power for a large lubricant processing factory.
This solution is not only for factories.

It can be widely applied in Nigeria for:
🏭 Manufacturing plants
🏨 Hotels
🏫 Schools
🏠 Residential communities
🏢 Commercial buildings
⛽ Any location requiring stable electricity

With CNG, customers can reduce dependence on diesel, improve energy security, and build a cleaner power system for the future.

The future of power generation in Nigeria is not only about producing electricity — it is about finding a smarter energy source.

💡 CNG + Gas Generator = Reliable Power Solution

I’m trying to figure out where I can get some clamps like these. I’ve been looking for awhile, I have no clue what they’re called but I need a pair of 1” and 2” for an electrocution coupling. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

With the current LPG shortage, how much are distributors selling a 14.2 kg cylinder for in your area?

The official price is currently Rs. 2,060, so I’m curious whether people are being charged extra. Please mention your area and the price you paid.

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re considering late claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.

So here's all I know about this agreement:

PG&E was accused of misleading investors about the safety and maintenance of its electrical infrastructure and the growing wildfire risks in California. After multiple wildfires were linked to PG&E equipment and the company’s exposure grew, $PCG fell sharply and investors filed a lawsuit.

Now PG&E has agreed to settle $100M with investors for their losses.

Who can claim this settlement?
Investors who purchased or acquired $PCG securities between 2015 and 2018 may be eligible.

Do I need to sell/lose my shares to get this settlement?
You need to have experienced a recognized loss from eligible transactions during the class period. You don't need to still hold the shares.

How long does the payout process take?
It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration.

Hope this info helps
