LP gas

LP gas (short for Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a commonly used fuel made mainly from hydrocarbons like propane and butane. It’s stored as a liquid under pressure and turns into gas when released.

🔥 Main Components
• Propane (C₃H₈)
• Butane (C₄H₁₀)

🏠 Common Uses
• Cooking gas (household cylinders in Nepal)
• Heating (water heaters, room heaters)
• Vehicles (as an alternative fuel called autogas)
• Industrial uses (metal cutting, drying, etc.)

⚙️ Key Features
• Clean-burning fuel (less smoke than coal or wood)
• Portable and easy to store in cylinders
• High energy efficiency
• Odor is added artificially for leak detection

⚠️ Safety Tips
• Always keep cylinders upright
• Check for leaks (smell or soap water test)
• Keep away from open flames when not in use
• Ensure proper ventilation
