Advocating for Propane Across California
Supporting Propane Home Delivery in Sonoma County & Marin County
By Matt Hernandez – April 2026

This year’s WPGA Propane Days at the California State Capitol was a great opportunity to connect with legislators and share the real impact propane has on homeowners across our State.

Representing McPhail Fuel Company, Sales Representative Steve Dittman participated in these important conversations, helping ensure that the voices of residents in Sonoma County and Marin County were part of the broader statewide discussion.

While the event focused on advocating for propane across all of California, Steve’s participation highlighted the unique needs of North Bay communities - where reliable home propane delivery in Sonoma and Marin counties is essential for everyday living. Many residential areas in the North Bay do not have access to natural gas, so homeowners rely on consistent propane delivery to meet essential needs like heating, hot water, cooking and for backup generators.

One of the highlights of the event was meeting with California State Assemblymember Blanca Rubio. Discussions focused on how propane supports homeowners throughout the State, while also emphasizing how local propane delivery services in Sonoma County and Marin County provide safe, efficient and dependable energy to thousands of households.

Events like WPGA Propane Days are critical for connecting policymakers with real-world insight. By sharing experiences from the field, propane providers can help shape policies that protect access to affordable, reliable propane delivery near you, especially in regions where energy options are limited.

At McPhail Fuel Company, we’re proud to support statewide advocacy efforts while continuing to deliver trusted, dependable home propane delivery in Sonoma County and Marin County. Our mission is to keep North Bay homes fueled, comfortable and secure year-round.

How much Propane do I have? Do you know how to read your Propane Tank Gauge?

Reading your propane gauge is not complicated, but can be confusing. First you must locate the gauge by looking under the dome or lid of your propane tank. The gauge should display numbers from 5 to 95. Tanks are considered to be full when they read 85%.

When it comes to gas appliances, safety is a top priority. If you smell gas in your home, follow these steps:

NO FLAMES OR SPARKS. Immediately put out all smoking materials and other open flames. Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones, or cell phones. Flames or sparks from these sources can trigger an explosion or a fire.
LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY. Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking.
SHUT OFF THE GAS. Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank if it is safe to do so. To close the valve, turn it to the right (clockwise).
REPORT THE LEAK. From a neighbor’s home or other nearby building away from the gas leak, call 911 or your local fire department. Then, call McPhail Fuel Company 707-285-3525.
DO NOT RETURN TO THE BUILDING OR AREA until an emergency responder or qualified service technician determines that it is safe to do so.
GET YOUR SYSTEM CHECKED. Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, McPhail Fuel Company or a qualified service technician must check your entire system to ensure that it is leak-free.
