The facility that separates crude oil into various petrochemicals such as gasoline, kerosene, and propane is called a refinery. Refineries use processes like distillation, cracking, and reforming to transform crude oil into usable products. These facilities play a crucial role in the petroleum industry by converting raw materials into valuable fuels and chemicals.
A substance made from natural gas or petroleum is typically a hydrocarbon-based product such as gasoline, diesel, propane, or plastic. These substances are derived from the refining and processing of natural gas or crude oil.
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
A standard 40-lb propane tank stands 29.5-inches high. It is 12.2-inches wide. The cost of filling a tank of this size will vary depending on your location and the facility filling it.
I believe Kerosene lasts longer but you have to keep pumping it every so often to keep the light going, then there's those little booties you have to replace once in a while, then filling your lantern using that little funnel, "Oh shoot! I left the funnel at home!". If you want no fuss no hassle go with propane it's less pain. So you have to carry a few tanks rather that a 1 gallon can?
Some gas companies have fillup stations where you can take your propane tank to have refilled with the assistance of an attendant. However, there may be a restriction as to how large of a tank you can transport legally (hazmat).
A factory called a cracking plant. (This distills the crude oil into its components).
Kerosene or propane
Gasoline, natural gas, propane, methane, butane, oil, kerosene, diesel, lamp oil.
A substance made from natural gas or petroleum is typically a hydrocarbon-based product such as gasoline, diesel, propane, or plastic. These substances are derived from the refining and processing of natural gas or crude oil.
In most places, it would be propane. Occasionally, it would be butane or even gaseous kerosene.
1gal. Propane = 91600 BTUs 1gal. Kerosene = 135000 BTUs To heat 1,000,000 BTUs it would cost: 10.91 gals of Propane x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) 7.4 gals of kerosene x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Remember this is at 100% efficiency. If you are working with something less efficient you must multiply the fuel btu by the efficiency. For example: Propane Furnace that is 80% efficient. 1,000,000 / (91600 x .8) = 13.6 gals 13.6 gals x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Kerosene furnace that is 60% efficient. 1,000,000 / (135,000 x .6) = 12.3 gals 12.3 gals x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Hope this helps good luck

There are 3 different types of fuel. They are solid fuels, liquid fuels and gaseous fuels. Included in there are gas, propane, coal, wood, diesel, hydrogen and kerosene,
Home insurance typically covers personal property and liabilities, but it may not specifically cover propane and kerosene used for heating unless they are part of the home itself or included in the policy. If those fuels are damaged or stolen, coverage may depend on the specific terms of your policy. It's essential to review your policy details or consult with your insurance provider to understand what is and isn’t covered regarding heating fuels.
