Although most farms are located beyond city gas mains, they can now have their own ‘backyard gas I
well” to supply fuel for a wide variety of important jobs. Liquefied petroleum gas is delivered to the cen¬
tral supply system. Stored as a liquid, the fuel changes to its gaseous state when used. Large amounts
of LP-Gas (butane, propane, bottled or tank gas) can be stocked because one volume of liquid ex¬
pands to about 270 volumes of gas. The fuel is also used by millions of farm families to operate modern
household appliances, including automatic ranges, water heaters, clothes dryers, incinerators, refrig¬
erators and heating plants.
