I just paid $3.99 per gallon and the driver told me I was lucky I was on a contract. He said, others in my area are paying $5.99 per gallon.
The answer depends of the pressure under which the propane is stored.
It is approx 1,463,776 Imperial gallons.
For complete proper combustion of Propane: C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O The relative atomic weights of a molecule of Propane and Oxygen are: Propane: 3 × C + 8 × H = 3 × 12 + 8 × 1 = 44 Oxygen: 2 × O = 2 × 16 = 32 Thus a molecule of propane is 44/32 = 1⅜ times heavier than a molecule of oxygen; and the same amount (number of molecules) of propane as 24 g of oxygen is 24g × 1⅜ = 33g Each propane molecule takes 5 oxygen molecules, thus: 33 g ÷ 5 = 6 3/5 g = 6.6 g If the combustion produces the poisonous carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide: 2C3H8 + 7O2 = 6CO + 8H2O → propane = 33g × 2/7 = 9 3/7 g ≈ 9.4 g A complete answer is thus between 6 3/5 g (6.6g) and 9 3/7 g (9.4 g) depending upon how much carbon monoxide relative to carbon dioxide is produced by the burning - the safe amount is 6.6 g.

You will need to check with the state in which you plan to transport the propane cylinders. For instance, if you lived in Missouri, you would contact MODOT at www.modot.mo.gov.
AnswerThe regulator forces the gas from the propane tank to maintain a constant discharge pressure-regardless of the level of propane in the tankA regulator does not force gas from a tank. It merely regulates the amount of pressure from the tank.
When a gas is compressed to a liquid, it takes up a lot less space. This makes it easier to package in a container and cheaper to transport.
The UN number for propane is UN1978 or 1075. The guide number for propane is 115. The UN number identifies hazardous materials for international transport.
It depends on where you live. Some Municipalities charge a "municipal public service tax" on LP Gas (propane) up to 10%. Grill Tanks (20lb tanks) are exempt from Florida Sales and Use Tax.
You can't convert natural gas to propane because natural gas is methane and propane is what it says it is. Given that, there are Compressed Natural Gas cars, and if you get a natural gas compressor you can use it in a car.
Some gas companies have fillup stations where you can take your propane tank to have refilled with the assistance of an attendant. However, there may be a restriction as to how large of a tank you can transport legally (hazmat).
Us a small propane torch NOT LIGHTED to supply a little fuel to the area with the engine idling. When the propane finds a manifold crack the engine will increase its rpm. Use proper ventillation and be careful.
Coleman fuel is non-renewable as it comes from fossil fuels. These portable propane tanks are easy to transport and provide hours of use.
Propane is a compound.
Propane is not an electrolyte.
Most propane grills use a general propane that can be bought in any store. Portable propane grills often come with their own propane tank, therefore making there be no need to choose your own propane.
