new California butane sale laws??

Tick tock. It’s almost July.

Has anyone else’s airgas supplier reminded them about this ban lately? Mine are not happy about losing all the business.

It’s cheaper anyway.
Does anybody know what ratio of what gas is in what brand of cans?

Still looking for an answer on this ?

colibri is 80/20 to 70/30 and relatively clean.

I’d be interested to know, doesn’t really matter. I intend on buying the best quality gas I can find once I get started in a few months.

Im pretty sure it is a blend. A good way to tell is to compress some in a solvent tank and see what the pressure sits at

A plumbing band holds the cans on. It holds the 750ml cans, dumps mystery oil and passes through a molecular sieve before entering the recovery tank sitting in dry ice. The little red gasket seals the can tip in.

Distilling from cans will definitely work for smaller operators.

Based on what I see at my airgas place, there are a fair amount of larger non-licensed operators out there that require regularly picking up several of the LP143’s that hold about 60# of butane each.

Can tapping that amount on a regular basis is probably not an option for these guys and they will either stop what they’re doing or figure out a work around.

Guess which one they will probably do.

I hate how the government tries to control people’s actions through bans and taxes.
