Great video very informative

yes on the valves video's

Well communicated professor! I appreciate your wisdom!

I am sorry I misread that. You are absolutely correct on that boiling point of Propane. I was totally mistaken didn't see the negative temperature.

That is one patient young man.

Ripped out both furnaces feels so good. Fridge is stupid also.

A couple of points here that i want to make. The pressure in a propane cylinder will be constant regardless of the amount of liquid propane in there, the pressure will drop quickly when there is no more liquid to evapourate. Insulating the tank will do nothing in cold weather as there is no heat source. Having said that, insulation may help keep the cylinder slightly warmer through a cold night after a warm day. But on the other hand, insulation may make the cylinder colder because as propane evapourates in the cylinder it gets colder due to the heat of condensation being absorbed. insulating the tank will make this worse not better! In reality, propane in very cold temperatures needs to be heated to maintain the vapor pressure. If you are heating the tank, then insulation will help. The best thing about propane is that it can be stored safely as a liquid in a relatively inexpensive low pressure cylinder that is also easily refilled. The pressure in a propane tank is only about 150 psi at normal temperatures(20 C), natural gas on the other hand cannot be stored as a liquid unless it is also cooled a significant amount. Natural gas in a cylinder would be pressurized to 2000 psi or more and still be a gas not liquid. Fuels (like methane and propane) are far denser as a liquid vs as a gas, ie a gallon of propane liquid vs a gallon of propane gas contains far more propane(by weight), natural gas is the same, this is true of any liquid including water

Perfect example of you're never too old to learn something new. I teach Forklift Operator Safety Certifications and cover the popular energy source of propane. I did not know the concentration at which the stuff becomes volatile and explosive. I thought that if I can smell the stuff, I need to shut things off and vacate the premises!! I now wonder if there is a characteristic wherein the stuff is of a volatile / explosive mixture. Must be a horrid smell just before it goes "bang!" Thanks for the excellent discussion video. Dakota will be forever grateful some day, he just doesn't know it yet!!

Great information. I love propane. Heat, refrigeration, cooking and hot water are provided because of it. You are the real life Hank Hill! Thanks so much for the excellent presentation!

Love the dad's that teach their kids. Smart kid now. Love this channel, brilliant man from the Pacific Northwest, always following and always learned a lot from every one of his videos. Still trying to drag him over to Vancouver Island for some servicing...could be a cash cow and a great vacation... Thanks! A+++ A1

Great video. I like your rambling also lol. However , I believe you said the byproduct is carbon dioxide. In fact it is the more deadly carbon monoxide CO. I believe that’s the reason the alarm is now a propane/CO alarm in newer RVs. When burning any fossil fuel there is carbon monoxide.

Thank you for this video. I'm trying to get my OLDER RV (1986) up and running effectively. It was running, sort of.. I just had the alternator rebuilt. I've replaced all the fuel filters, and a few other parts as well.. And new tires.. Ew brake cylinder... Bbut except for refiling the propane tank (80%) I haven't started that yet.....

Excellent explanation of propane and it's properties and uses. Thank you, I learned a lot!

As always, very useful information. Happy Thanksgiving!

Awesome Presentation, felt like I was back at WSU listening to a Lecture. Pretty sure Dakota is was thinking about when he n dad used Propane in "Dakota" 🖖😎

Thanks for all the facts about propane, I like facts because "I Automate". Did I miss you saying, "Why use propane at all if you also have electric heat and you are not boondocking." If you are hooked up to shore power at a camp site, the electricity is cheaper than propane. And sometimes a small space heater or two will heat the whole rig. Keep the propane for backup in case of power failure.

Excellent info 👍

Geez, you sound like my son the chemist. Woosh, did anyone get that tail number?

Awesome info! It's always good to test for leaks switching out propane (LP) cylinders. I prefer using a common Windex spray - applied to any connector if showing any bubble action will indicates a leak. Referring to LP being safe - simple precautions make it better as you said than electrical. I have responded with fire dept. to many more electrical shorts and overheated electrical wires & equipment fires in my career than those caused by LP or NG. So those nay-says need to remove their electrical components for safety sake.

I have two things to say. 1) great information. 2) your poor, poor son. :)

I don’t know if you can help me but I can’t seem to find an answer to my question. I’m building a camper out of a cargo trailer and want to carry a pair of 20lb propane tanks for my outdoor kitchen. No gas will be run into the camper. I have several small Coleman stoves as well as a large Camp Chef stove. I also use propane lanterns outside. I’d like to run a gas line down the side of the trailer where I can connect these stoves without removing the regulators from each appliance as I also use these appliances without the trailer on occasion. Can I install a line without using a regulator at the tank?

Some Great information.👍

Curious question; why boats use propane outside and denatured alcohol inside the cabin?

Never saw a link to the leak diagnosis...

Now, is it safe to use the fridge on propane while traveling down the hwy?

Many motor homes in 2022 are getting rid of the propane tanks-Going all electric now with Aqua hot or oasis Mimi boiler 🤷‍♀️

More RVs burn down from electrical causes, more RVs explode from propane

You are 2 for2 on the most recent videos. You never finished the blower motor and relay video. Now propane is hissing in this lady’s camper and we never got to stick our nose to it

Info was good but I feel you could have been a little more brief with the chemical structure and the why of propane. I also think you should have covered the water vapor effects it has inside the unit. To technical for the common RV’er. Being a safety Engineer I believe the explosive ration is 19% by volume

A Norcold refrigerator caught fire and completely destroyed my Blue Bird Wanderlodge LXi and almost took me with it. Most new high end coaches are built totally electric moving away from propane entirely.

You were comparing the boiling of water in Fahrenheit and Propane. That is really not correct. Propane boils at -44 degrees Celsius. Not -44 degrees Fahrenheit.

Did I miss the link to the actual service call repair?

What bout electrical tank warmers?

No link to charts.
