PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPANE

• In its natural state, propane is an odorless and colorless gas.
• A chemical odorant has been added to propane to give it a distinct smell.
• Propane is stored as a liquid under pressure in tanks and cylinders.
• In most residential applications, propane is used as a vapor.
• If propane comes in contact with your skin, it can result in frost burns.
• Concentrations of propane may cause flash fires or explosions.
• Propane vapor is heavier than air, and it may collect initially at floor levels or in other low areas before it begins to dissipate; therefore, to check for the presence of propane, carefully smell all over a room, especially in low spots.
• Even a slight gas odor may signal a serious propane gas leak, and you should take immediate action if you smell gas or suspect a leak.
• Consult your propane dealer for detailed information about using propane safely.

WHO IS PARTS CITY AUTO PARTS?

We’re a chain of local, independently owned auto parts stores dedicated to helping our communities with their unique automotive needs.  Most Parts City Auto Parts owners operate only one store and work the counter at their store every day. Many of them are second- and third-generation owners of their stores and are planning to keep their business in the family when they retire.  In addition to auto parts, many of our stores focus on other offerings people in their neighborhood need, such as tractors and agricultural equipment, lawn & garden, home improvement supplies, and much more. In many areas, Parts City is known as the store that can track down those odd parts no one else can find.  While no two Parts City stores are alike, we’re able to provide you with competitive pricing, parts availability and a nationwide warranty through our relationship with O’Reilly Auto Parts.
