There is winter grade propane.

Really?

You sure?

Propane is a simple chemical.

C-C-C

How do they make 3 carbons (and a few hydrogens) a "winter" grade?


The supplier mixes in hydrogen.ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

We used to fill winter grade on our camping trailer to use in winter
time. I heard it is mixed with Butane to keep it from freezing. Well
there is winter grade gasoline too.


I don't remember 'all" of my chemistry. But butane
(four carbons, BTW) freezes easier than propane. If
memory serves, liquid butane has a boiling point of
+32F, and propane boils at -40F. Not sure about
freezing, but we are concerned with the boiling point
when discussing fuel vapor devices and tanks.

You can tank me later.
