Whoah, according to all the sources I read electricity is actually cheaper than propane!
You'd need to do the math in your particular circumstance of course, but that's kinda unexpected. -

Like over a dollar gallon more even though there isn't any road tax on it and it has less energy content, probably because it isn't self-serve and there isn't much competition.
The 20-pound exchange tanks at convenience stores and supermarkets aren't even filled up all the way, they under-fill them to make more money / not have to raise prices when propane goes up.
Portable propane heaters consume the oxygen from your space and at the least load the air up with co2 and water vapour which does not make for the most comfortable environment. They also get extremely hot so they are a fire risk.
So just STFU, put ur thermostat on 60 degrees, post nude selfys of chelly , have them average your electric bill and put on a sweater you atomic piss head.

In case you don't actually know, they fill them to 80% to account for thermal expansion of the gas. -

this is the most retarded notion ive seen posted in this thread, and this is a fona thread.
the propanes are already in a liquified state, that is to say they're already compressed, and they no longer expand or contract due to the effects of temperature.
the only thing that changes with the change of temperature is pressure inside them tanks.
and yes, i also worked at LPG refiling plant. -
2019-12-09 at 3:43 PM UTCanything BUT propane. i know a guy who nearly blow up a trailer park. how it didn't happen still baffles many of the village folk

Liquids can expand. Also not all of it is liquid once it is in the tank. This is something I learned while working at the propane tank filling plant. -
2019-12-09 at 3:59 PM UTCThey only fill them to 80% so that there is room left for vapor. If you filled it to 100% you couldn’t use it because there wouldn’t be any vapor for your device.
Schooled you propane professionals -

If they did that it would explode when the propane expanded. This is something i learned working at the propane tank filling plant. -

thats a lie.
if that were true they'd just make their propane tanks 20% larger, but no. they only say this because they want to charge you 100% for your propanes while giving you only 80% in return. -
