*Propane has no smell
Colorless, odorless, and tasteless
Odorant is added

*Propane as a liquid
Boiling point at -44° F
To stay as a liquid, it needs to be stored under pressure
Propane is lighter than water

*Propane as vapor
Propane vapor is 1 ½ times heavier than air
It settles into low- lying areas
When released into the air it expands 270 times it's original volume

*Miscellaneous
Liquid propane expands 17 times more than water with temperature changes
Propane vapor is heavier than air, but propane liquid is lighter than water
Achieves stability in tanks.

Propane tanks are the storage containers for propane in its liquid form and are available in many different sizes being engineered and designed for propane containment at high pressures.

Any tank sizes can only be filled into 80% since propane is expanding when heated.
If the tank was filled 100% possibly get explode.
