What is "propane"?
Propane is a fuel used in some vehicles, often as an alternative to gasoline or diesel. It is stored as a liquid in pressurized tanks and turns into a gas when released, making it easy to use in engines. Propane burns cleaner than gasoline, producing fewer harmful gases, and is commonly used in vehicles like taxis and buses. However, refueling stations are not as common as those for gasoline or diesel, which limits its widespread use.
Examples
They converted their vehicle to run on propane for cost savings.
