Nature of LPG

• LPG is colourless in nature. Therefore a pungent
  gas called ethanethiol (also known as methyl
  mercaptan) is added to detect the gas leakage,
  which might otherwise go undetected.
• It is heavier than air and has a higher calorific
  value than other traditional fuel. Meaning that
  with less LPG, you can burn effectively compared
  to traditional fuels like oil, kerosene, petrol,
  etc.

• Once the gas is refined, it is converted to
  liquid and will be pressurized and stored in
  cylinders and tanks by the industrial gas
  distributors to meet the needs of the consumers.
  It is a fuel rich in energy and can readily burn
  to produce instant heat for cooking, heating and
  fueling the vehicle.

  industrial and commercial sectors. From cooking

  termed as Autogas. Autogas is the third most
