propane

Grill's gas supply

Propane is a flammable hydrocarbon gas used as fuel.

It's stored as a liquid under pressure in tanks and cylinders, powering everything from backyard grills to rural home heating systems.

Propane burns cleaner than gasoline or diesel, making it popular for forklifts and fleet vehicles.

We need to refill the propane tank before the cookout.
