First, make sure there is in fact not a propane leak.
There are other things that will set them off. From
here:
These would include paints, solvents, hair spray and fuels to name a few. False alarms can be minimized by keeping these substances away from your detector. For instance, if you enjoy painting your favourite wilderness scenic in oils, don't clean your brushes in the kitchen sink, where turpentine vapors could trigger a false alarm.
Another possibility is that the detector has gone bad and shorted out, and this is its way of warning you of that.
