Propane is a true gas compressed into a liquid form. As the fuel is released from the container,
it changes to vapor which is then used for the operation of the appliances. Propane will not
run through the appliances in the liquid state.
Propane expands 1½ percent for every ten degrees of increase in temperature. It is imperative
