Can't say I have noticed that Peedee (I've got a strong sense of smell and OH has very little.) We've just been running our gas bottle to what we thought was the very end and it still hasn't run out and there's nothing noticeable about the smell. Maybe there's a lingering smell as the last bit comes through when the flame goes out?

There may be an explanation though. LPG itself has little smell so a nasty aroma is added to help people notice a leak. That aroma, in the form of a liquid, may not fully off gas with the LPG and may concentrate in the dregs.
Thanks DD, I was thinking along the same lines but it would be good to know if anyone else has noticed this.
I did not know rentals used LPG, I wonder if that is universal.
