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 was going to mention Butane but I thought, without researching it, that Propane had a lower boiling point. I recall reading something about refineries blending winter grade gasoline to have a higher vapor pressure so pollution standards could be met. I'm no chemist but I can use The Internet to find out. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ
