LP gas dealers typically provide only the type of
gas commonly used and suited for the climate
in their area. If you travel from a warmer to
a colder region, verify that you have the
appropriate type of LP gas for the climate.
ow L as Wors
There are two types of LP (liquid petroleum)
gas: propane and butane. Both are compressed
into a liquid state for easier transportation and
storage. Common names used for LP gas are
tank gas, bottle gas, or simply LP.
In the tank, LP gas is in liquid form and under
very high pressure. As it is released, it changes
to a vapor or gas and expands to a much
greater volume.
Exercise caution when temperatures fall below

liquid to a gas in extremely cold temperatures,
