* Pre-Buy - You may pre-buy your propane. With this option, there is no required time limit on when you must use your fuel.

Propane Thrifty

Propane is used as fuel in cooking on many barbecues, portable stoves
and in motor vehicles. The ubiquitous 4.73-gallon (20 lb.) steel
container is often dubbed a "barbecue tank" (used in making a Hank
drum). Propane remains a popular choice for barbecues and portable
stoves because its low boiling point of -42 °C (-43.6 °F) makes it
vaporize as soon as it is released from its pressurized container.
Therefore, no carburetor or other vaporizing device is required; a
simple metering nozzle suffices. Propane powers some locomotives,
buses, forklifts, taxis and ice resurfacing machines and is used for
heat and cooking in recreational vehicles and campers.

Propane is generally stored and transported in steel cylinders as a
liquid with a vapor space above the liquid. The vapor pressure in the
cylinder is a function of temperature. When gaseous propane is drawn at
a high rate, the latent heat of vaporisation required to create the gas
will cause the bottle to cool. (This is why water often condenses on
the sides of the bottle and then freezes). In addition, the
lightweight, high-octane compounds vaporize before the heavier,
low-octane ones. Thus the ignition properties change as the tank
empties. For these reasons, the liquid is often withdrawn using a dip
tube.

In rural areas of North America, propane is used in furnaces
(including livestock facilities), cooking stoves, water heaters,
laundry dryers, grain dryers, and other heat-producing appliances. When
used for heating or grain drying it is usually stored in a large,
permanently-placed cylinder which is recharged by a propane-delivery
truck. As of 2000, 6.9 million American households use propane as their
primary heating fuel.

"When I first began hearing about Thrifty Propane I was excited about
what I heard. Then I called and spoke with their office personnel and
felt lucky to have found them. What a refreshing change from the rude
local providers of propane! Prompt service, friendly people that
actually talk to you like they care, and great prices have made my many
family and friends all switch to Thrifty.

The advantage of propane is its liquid state at a moderate pressure.
This allows fast refill times, affordable fuel tank construction, and
ranges comparable to (though still less than) gasoline. Meanwhile it is
noticeably cleaner (both in handling, and in combustion), results in
less engine wear (due to carbon deposits) without diluting engine oil
(often extending oil-change intervals), and until recently was a
relative bargain in North America.
