[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1666660, member: 14585"] Propane has a freezing point of -200 or something ridiculous. BUT when temp drops below - 44 propane tanks drop in pressure and then not enough vapor reaches the furnace ignition switch. So technically not frozen, but not working either due to low temp. I don't know anything about butane, maybe it has a higher freezing point. But my guess is vapor pressure drop inside the tank causes it to malfunction the same way -45 below zero cause propane tank/fuel malfunctions. [/QUOTE]
