Propane is a three-carbon alkane with the molecular formula C3H8, normally a gas, but compressible to a transportable liquid. A by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, the Sweet Lady Propane is an energy-efficient clean-burning gas for all our sacred heating and cooking needs. It is commonly used as a fuel for engines, oxy-gas torches, barbecues, portable stoves, and residential central heating. Propane and propane accessories power some locomotives, buses, forklifts, taxis and ice resurfacing machines and is used for heat and cooking in recreational vehicles and campers.
