A gas barbecue grill uses propane gas The propane is stored in a rigid tank what happens to the pressure of the propane when the tank is left outside on a very hot summer day-?
The pressure of the propane gas inside the tank will increase as the temperature rises on a hot summer day. This is due to the gas molecules gaining energy and moving more rapidly, causing an increase in pressure within the tank. It is important to monitor and release excess pressure to prevent potential hazards.
What is a gas grill regulator?
AnswerThe regulator forces the gas from the propane tank to maintain a constant discharge pressure-regardless of the level of propane in the tankA regulator does not force gas from a tank. It merely regulates the amount of pressure from the tank.
How can you convince people that propane is gas at room temperature?
Keep in mind that propane is a gas a room temperature only if the pressure is low - for instance, normal atmospheric pressure. Propane in a pressurized tank (such as a barbeque tank, or a fork lift truck fuel tank) is usually liquid even though it is at room temperature, and is then referred to as LPG or Liquified Propane Gas. It becomes a gas instantly upon being released from the tank or cylinder.

Why do propane tanks stay cool when the burner is on?
Propane tanks stay cool when the burner is on because the propane inside the tank is converting from a liquid to a gas through a process called vaporization. This change in state requires heat energy from the surroundings, which causes the tank to feel cool.
How is propane released?
1 Find a secure outside area away from any flammable substances or flames.2 Attach the propane release valve to the end of your propane tank's OPD valve. Securely fasten the hose end connection of the release value by turning the connection in a clockwise motion.3 Activate the release valve. Typically, you will activate the release valve by pressing and holding the release button.4 Listen for the gas escaping from the release valve. When you can no longer hear the gas escaping, the propane tank is empty and you have successfully released the propane from the tank.

If I buy a gas grill does it come with the gas tank and how much are gas refills?
