Re question 3, I can certainly vouch for the fact that an empty 13kg calor bottle will float in fresh water ... even with a 6ft 13.5 stone male clinging to it.
Don't ask.

I thought this thread was going to start with "What did the gas bottle ask the chicken?"

Q6 gas comes outs. It's stored in the bottle as a liquid but once outside the bottle the pressure drops and it turns back into gas.

10 in normal temperatures, instantly. What is a normal temperature? -270C. If you live in space. And let’s face it, space is mahoosively bigger than anything else, and therefore must be “normal”

10 in normal temperatures, instantly. Not frozen. Not many of Calor's bottles in space. Our bit of space isn't that cold anyway.

1) Because many of the costs are the same for both sizes, transport, valve checking, repainting etc. The cost of the gas itself is virtually nothing. So it all comes down to economies of scale.

11. It's a myth, the freezing point of propane is -140° it's not that's it's freezing but that it's boiling point is -2, Nick will know but something to do with it not being able to turn back to a gas.
12. -152.44°c
13. No, it will explode.
23. Different bottle and adapter
24. They may leak.
26. , if the tare weight printed on the cylinder is 15.2 kg, a full cylinder with 14.2 kg LPG should have a gross weight of 29.4 kg.
