advantages and disadvantages of each?

John, thank you for visiting our website. The differences in butane and
propane is in the working pressures . for the consumer's application the 2
gases are about the same. However in this part of the country you only find
propane.(butane must be stored in tanks underground where the temp stays
constant at 68 degress in order for the butane to vaporize when needed.
)Propane is stored above ground and doesn't require the same constant temp.
to vaporize. There are underground PROPANE tanks but they only use propane
not butane. These tanks can be verified by the # stamped into the tank head
by the initals WP or working pressure . Please call our office or ask more
info here if we can be of help....Fort Worth Butane & Grill Shoppe
