- When I had a 'LPG Motorhome,' to many times something similar happened.

- 'The Problem:' 'Butane'

- If I remember well when I was in the Upper Colder States I filled-up with 'Propane' and
when I was in 'Texas' it was a mixture with increase 'Butane' and yes the so call 'Gas
Technicians' worked on my motorhome and a few cold days later I still had similar problems.

- Could these or in part be the Answers ?
- - 1- Throughout those days I learned that there was a regulator for 'Butane' and one
for 'Propane' and yes where I filled in 'Corpus' it was a mixture of 'Propane and Butane'
so was-it the main reason I still don't know.

- - 2- 'Butane' will not 'gas' below 1°C, whereas 'Propane' will do so down to -40°C, so
butane is unsuitable early and late in the season. So was the mixture the cause ?

- In those days, we couldn't always find a so call 'Propane Outlet' and perhaps today
also. LPG gas companies should share the percentage of 'Butane Versus Propane' on
their tanks.
