What is the difference between Natural Gas and propane?

Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV) Ontario | Home
Natural Gas is different from LPG in a number of ways, but primarily because Natural Gas, or CNG, (Compressed Natural Gas) is stored in a compressed, gaseous state and propane is a liquid, fossil fuel bi-product of natural gas processing. Propane liquefies readily under pressure; therefore it is in a liquefied state when stored in the tank at 200 psi. LPG passes through a vaporizer where it becomes a gas and then through a low-pressure regulator.

Can I convert my liquid propane barbecue to natural gas (or vice-versa)?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes and No. Only North American made barbecues. The more specific answer is that you can definitely convert almost any barbecue over to another gas, but the cost will be dependent upon the type and brand of barbecue you have. Some manufacturers offer conversion kits that make things relatively simple. The least you will get away with is replacing the gas hose and the valves in addition to any fittings you need to connect everything together. Side-burners can further complicate matters.

Why should I purchase an electric forklift versus a LPG (liquid propane gas) forklift?

ACME Forklifts FAQs
If your business is involved in working in cold (cold storage or freezers, for example), you must use an electric forklift. An LPG forklift emits gas fumes and heat that will actually raise the level of the temperature in the area in which it is being operated. If, however, you are using your forklift outside where it could possibly rain or snow, LPG is strongly recommended as an electric forklift can short out if it gets wet.

Is electric heating better than propane?

Aircraft preheat FAQ's
Propane fired forced air heaters produce high BTU's. Heat transfers quickly to the cylinders via the cooling fins, so if all you want is to warm your cylinders quickly this is the way to go. Warm cylinders are all you need if your only goal is to get the engine started. However, if your goal is to both get the engine started AND to avoid damage and wear to the engine from cold starting, then the entire engine and the oil needs to be uniformly heated.
