propane (and propane accessories)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Was at the local station filling a tank for the patio heater, and a thought hit me:  we hear a lot about the quality of gasoline.  Chevron/Shell/Mobil vs. the cheapie station, Premium vs. Regular, etc.

Yet, propane is just propane.  I've never heard that "this" propane is better or worse than "that" propane.

I've heard that butane  is a bastard gas. 

 

Is it all the same?

You CA folks get a propane with more propylene in it for your emissions standards.  I think it’s HD10

The rest of us slobs get HD5 with less or no propylene.  
 

There is a commercial grade which is wired differently. 
 

It all pretty much burns the same. 
 

No need to look for or purchase hand-made, artisan propane.
