LPG - The Magic Fuel
Everyone needs to know about this smart fuel
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a hydrocarbon gas that exists in a liquefied form but – here’s this magical property- used as a gas. There’s more – One liter of liquid LPG will expand to 270 liters of Gas. It is this property that permits storing large quantities of LPG in tanks and in cylinders of various capacities in liquid form, while normally using them in vapor or gaseous form.
