We found out that propane has like 15,000 btu’s per pound and gas has 114,000 btu’s per gallon ... so we stayed with gas.
That was written by the same writer that wrote the script for the bs move “WATER WORLD!!!”
Don’t compare pound to gallons, that doesn’t have meaning.
But yes, if you take an engine designed for gasoline and feed it fuel through the same delivery system with less energy per volume, it is not going to perform as well.
But these engines are designed to use the Nat Gas.
Well since propane is measured in pounds .... and when you do a search on propane and btu’s it gives it in pounds.
But a pound of propane is not equal in any way to a gallon of gasoline.
” Michael Samulski, Director of the EPA’s Large Marine and Aviation Center, says that the tighter regulations will prevent between 12,000 and 31,000 U.S. deaths per year now linked to maritime pollution.”
What complete and utter nonsense.
It’s true. With tighter regulations those specific people will become immortal and never die.
The whole thing was about propane vs gasoline and the btu equivalent between a like amount. We were discussing here the loss of power of 500 watts in an electrical house generator and using gas or propane.
The numbers you gave were NOT for a like amount.
Have a nice day and thanks for PLAYING.
When you compare calories, do you compare gallons of juice to pounds of fruit?
Or do you compare single servings?

Yeah, I bet the science behind that is extremely science-y.
Pound of Propane is NOT equivalent to a gallon of gasoline.
Please excuse me. I have to go and discuss my cats wedding arrangements, or have a chat with a brick wall.
I fully understand.
With less Bunker C used for fueling ships there will be more for asphalt (tarmac) use. Will that have a negative impact on the price of asphalt? Might be a good thing for maintaining/replacing highway infrastructure.
It’s not your fault, it’s not my fault, it’s the asphalt...
Or you may see more run through cokers and not producing more asphalt.
It will change some economics.
