Gas Pipe Leaks and Test.
Gas Piping includes two types of fuel, Liquid Propane(LP) and Natural Gas(NG). NG systems are supplied similar to city water. You will have a meter, the amount you use will be measured, and fees according to the measurement will be charged to you monthly. LP systems are stored on-site and refilled whenever the storage tank runs out. Fees are charged to you to setup the LP system, maintained, and refilled.

How do I know if I have Liquid Propane (LP) or Natural Gas (NG)?
LP systems will have a large storage tank that is kept on site. You will have to set up a delivery account to have your tank refilled when it runs out.
NG systems are delivered through a meter similar to city water. See image above. You will receive a monthly bill for the amount of NG that you consume.
