- Propane is a safe and widely used fuel. It is sometimes called liquefied petroleum gas, LP gas or LPG.
- Propane is transported and stored as a very cold liquid. It can cause a ‘freeze burn’ or frostbite if it contacts the skin.
- Propane is delivered to a home as a liquid and is pumped into the storage tank. The liquid changes to gas vapor before it leaves the tank.
- Propane will not ignite when combined with air unless the source of ignition reaches 920 degrees Farenheit.
- Propane gas is nontoxic and produces minimal emissions.
- Propane is not harmful to soil or ground water.
- Over 95 percent of the propane used in the United States is produced in North America.
