Helpful Information
What is Propane?
Propane, also known as liquefied petroleum gas (LP-gas), is one of the nation's most versatile sources of energy. This safe fuel serves approximately 60 million people in the United States in millions of homes, industry, farming and more.
Less Flammable
Propane has a narrow range of flammability when compared with other petroleum products. In order to ignite, the propane/air mix must contain from 2.2 to 9.6 percent propane vapor. If the mixture contains less than 2.2 percent gas, it is too lean to burn. If it contains more than 9.6 percent, it is too rich to burn.
Naturally Safer
If liquid propane leaks, it doesn't puddle; instead vaporizing and dissipating quickly into the air. Since propane is released from a pressured container as a vapor, it can't be ingested like gasoline or alcohol fuel.
