propane is in an orange cylinder, when it has a screw in type valve, or green cylinder if it has the snap on type valve, eg for patio heaters and is generally branded as patio gas. Butane is usually in a blue cylinder, butane has similar properties to propane, but a lower boiling point, so generally freezes if the ambient temperature is too low and stops boiling off to gas.
Yellow is the color code for propane gas lines. This makes it easier to identify for things such as inspection or locating a problem.
In the US, there is NO standard color code for gas cylinders. At the moment, I have propane cylinders that are white, dark blue, light blue and green. That will vary region to region.
Red
Background radiation is highest in Cornwall and Devon, where there is a high source of Radon that seeps up from the ground as a gas,
Our major energy source in the UK is fossil fuels (coal oil and natural gas) which constitutes 2/3rds of our energy production Nuclear and renewable energy such as wind, hydroelectric and solar make up the remaining 1/3.
Most are lightwater moderated and cooled, these are the PWR and BWR. There also a substantial number of heavy water reactors, based on CANDU, and gas cooled reactors mainly now in the UK.
Yes. One gallon of petrol in the UK is equal to about 4.546 liters. (In the US, one gallon of gasoline is equal to about 3.785 liters.)
The conversion from UK to US gallons is: UK gallons x 1.201 = US gallons
Each country will have its own colour code for gas cylinders, in the UK Helium is currently transported and stored in brown painted cylinders, however the process of changing to conform to new European regulations has already begun, these will eventually be grafite grey, with the cylinder label being the main identification for the gas within.

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.
In Canada or the UK it is colour in the USA it is color

You can purchase gas at any gas station. It is also possible to purchase gas from a variety of different online gas suppliers in the UK directly from their respective website.
The incoming pressure of natural gas in the UK is somewhere between 19-23 mbar.
The cheapest gas provider in the UK would probably be British Petroleum or BP. There gas is considered to be a competitive price and is a higher quality gas compared to their competitors.
I'm a colour man myself (UK).

In Canada, the spelling of color is colour, as in the UK and Australia.
