Now that you know where to go when you need propane here on the Cape, let’s get into some details about the actual fuel.
Propane, which is a byproduct of natural gas processing and crude oil refining, can actually be both a liquid and a gas (although not at the same time).
Propane is a gas, which is why it is sometimes referred to as liquid petroleum gas. However, it can be compressed and stored in a liquid form for it to go into a propane tank.
In its natural state and form, propane has no odor. As propane is being made, a scent is added to it so that a leak is easy to detect. In the event of a leak, propane will smell like decaying meat or rotten eggs. If you ever suspect a propane leak you should evacuate the area immediately and contact emergency services as well as your propane provider when you reach a safe distance from the site of the leak.
Propane can power pretty much any appliance or piece of equipment that natural gas can power. This includes grills, cooking ranges, forklifts, scissor lifts, welding equipment, pool heaters, space heaters, generators and non-wood burning fire pits. Propane can also power home heating systems and heat the water that is used inside a home.
Another good fact to know about propane is that it is incredibly efficient – this is one of the many benefits the fuel provides to its customers.
