Propane. Propane is flammable, noncorrosive, colorless and nontoxic. It also liquefies easily und pressure at atmospheric temperature and is one of the lightest hydrocarbons in liquid phases in the paraffin series. While propane is nontoxic, prolonged inhalation of high concentrations has an anesthetic effect.
Propane is a gas that can be turned into a liquid at a moderate pressure, 160 pounds per square inch (psi), and is stored in pressure tanks at about 200 psi at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When propane is drawn from a tank, it changes to a gas before it is burned in an engine. Propane has been used as a transportation fuel since 1912 and is the third most commonly used fuel in the United States, behind gasoline and diesel. More than four million vehicles fueled by propane are in use around the world in light-, medium-, and heavy-duty applications.
