Hydro-Gas is a liquefied
gas made up of butane, iso-
butane and propane. For
use In the home in gas ap-
pliances it has all the fa-
vorable characteristics of
natural gas, which is a
mixture of methane and
ethane. Hydro-Gas is un-
like natural gas in this re-
spect—it can be liquefied
by moderate pressure and
concentrated so that It may
be handled and stored Just
as gasoline is handled and
stored. Hydro-Gas systems
consist of large under-
ground, safety tanks refill-
ed by tank wagon service.
Since Hydro-Gas in the
liquid phase readily vapor-
izes when released from
pressure, there is no need
of machinery to produce
gas or gas pressure.
