Propane: You May not have Known This

Roy E. Hanson Jr. Mfg. -
Propane Dispenser & Hanson Standard Tanks
("SOLD TO LICENSED PROPANE PROFESSIONALS ONLY!
Since 1932"

This is a commercial website, mostly concerned with the needs of people who've been licensed to use propane professionally.

The Lemming decided to micro-review Propane Dispenser & Hanson Standard Tanks, because the the company includes some quite educational (don't stop reading - this really is interesting) stuff for the rest of us. Like:

"OVERVIEW
"Propane is the most common form of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that can be used as a fuel in areas where no gas mains are installed. A byproduct of the oil refining process, it is compressed...."

and

"INTERESTING USES
"As well as providing thousands of special effects explosions in TV and movie productions, here are some of the other unusual locations and functions of our propane tanks:
"Mirage Hotel, Las Vegas. Volcano eruption.
"Treasure Island, Las Vegas. Cannon fire, explosions.
"South Pole, Antarctica. Helicopter transported heating fuel...."

Well, I thought it was interesting.
