Propane

A Basic Overview Of Fuel Cell Technology

By John on January 24, 2010

Are you tired of high priced gasoline for your car? Or perhaps worried about the environment? For years, scientists have being working on an energy alternative that holds promises to change the way we live by changing the source of fuel for some of our most basic energy-using engines. This new technology in progress is [...]

Natural Gas

By John on August 15, 2008

Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily methane (CH4) but also containing ethane and propane and other gases such as nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and water vapor.
Natural gas does have a high octane rating and excellent properties for spark-ignited internal combustion engines and is relatively clean burning. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and [...]

Propane (LPG or AutoGas)

By John on August 15, 2008

Propane, which is generally known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or LP-gas), or AutoGas in Europe, is a three-carbon alkane gas (C3H8). Propane has one of the highest energy densities of all alternative fuels, so propane vehicles can go farther on a tank of fuel. This is one of the reasons that it is used [...]
