Propane moleculeThe Difference Between Propane and Butane

Propane and Butane are both considered LPG.

When comparing propane and butane, the most significant difference is the boiling point of the two gases.

Butane moleculePropane (LPG) has a boiling temperature of -42°C, whilst butane has a higher boiling point of -2°C.

This means that LPG (propane) works in really cold weather whilst butane can stop working when below freezing.

Both are flammable hydrocarbon gases that are liquefied through pressurisation.

They are commonly used for heating, cooking, and hot water.

Where to Dispose of Gas Bottles Near MeGas bottle disposal

If you need to disposal of a 9kg gas bottle, you can take it to your nearest SWAP’n’GO®  retailer for an exchange bottle.

They take your old bottle off your hands in exchange for a fully tested one full of gas.

Why is a 9kg Gas Bottle Refill only 8.5kg?

A 9kg gas bottle refill is 8.5kg of LPG, but why?

20% ullage expansion roomThis is because various gas bottle manufacturers make bottles with slightly different dimensions and volumes.

Sometimes the volume or capacity, with the required ullage, is less than 9kg. (See image)

This can result in dangerous overfilling if 9kg is put into an undersized bottle.

The solution was to standardise on an 8.5kg fill.

SWAP’n’GO®  ensures the same amount of LPG is in each bottle, safe and ready for use.
