Alessandro Volta discovered methane in 1777.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Methane" is a name used to describe the gas molecule. The formula is CH4.
Butane can be written with the formula of C2H6.
Propane, the stuff you burn in the stove, has the formula of C3H8.
Now do you notice any similarities in the naming of these three gases?
Notice that Meth- , But- , and Prop- is the only difference, but the ending -ane is to describe the type of molecule it is. The naming had been standardized by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), so people can't name things like Buttworthium for fart gas.
who discovered propane ?
Walter otheman snelling discovered propane in 1910
originally designed for methane regulation by Mr Booth from thr UK
yes it can but apparently isn't ideal. we run acetylene regs on our propane torch.
Hissing is the most common sound to come from propane tanks and is usually a sign of a gas leak. If you hear this noise you should turn your tank off and immediately call your propane supplier for a technician
Yes, you would need a regulator off the tank, from there run the line. Some LP gas logs will come with a regulator at the unit as well.
Because most modern tanks have a safety valve in them. If you open the valve too quickly, the valve will think that nothing is hoked to it and will shut off the output of the tank. Close the valve on the tank, dissconnect it from the regulator to let off the pressure and reset the check valve. Reconnect to the regulator and open the tank valve slowly..
About 120psi for a 16 oz propane tank
AnswerThe regulator forces the gas from the propane tank to maintain a constant discharge pressure-regardless of the level of propane in the tankA regulator does not force gas from a tank. It merely regulates the amount of pressure from the tank.

A gas regulator helps to maintain a steady flow of gas. A propane tank is an example of an item with a gas regulator. One opens up the tank to allow the right amount of gas to flow to the BBQ.
Yes the propane(or any other gas) is liquid for most of it's journey from tank to your stove. for that gas t be liquid it needs to be cold. The cold regulator is just the liquid propane chilling the regulator. The only hot part is when the gas is ignited.
Depending on the regulator valve of the barbeque, it can be either propane or butane. Propane seems to be the most common these days. Source: http://www.infomania.co.uk/archives/234

A 60 gallon tank?

The propane tank holds 30 liters.

The regulator is actually the silver, metal disc that is connected to your liquid propane gas tank. It's connected to the gas tank with a black, plastic collar, and then a hose goes from the regulator to your grill!
