    Different mixtures in Propane are obtained when the petroleum is
    separated into differing factions by a form of distillation . The
    basic distinctions are in the number of carbon atoms in a straight
    chain. This determines the boiling point. 

    (1) Methane, (3) Propane, (4) Butane, (8) Octane are used as
    standards for comparison.  Natural Gas is mostly Methane. Propane
    and Butane are used as bottle gas fuels. and Octane is used as
    liquid automobile fuel. HPNG is bottled Methane, high pressure
    natural gas , a good fuel, but hard to find. It comes in a heavy,
    thick wall tank like Oxygen, or Hydrogen Butane is used more in
    warmer environments because it has a higher boiling point and lower
    pressure at higher temperatures than Propane 

    So - your fuel is primarily propane with other factions mixed in.
    This is because of manufacturing and distribution economics. Both
    combust well. Unless You find a problem, don't bother looking for
    one.
