| Jan 30, 2017 at 21:49 | comment | added | user11609 | Thanks imsodin. I'm good at research, but not so good at expressing what I find. Hence, I babble a lot. It's a work in progress :-( | |
| Jan 30, 2017 at 21:25 | comment | added | imsodin | @Wigwam Thanks a lot for your persistent work on this despite the bad votes - you definitely got my +1. I hope the other downvoters will revisit this. | |

| Jan 27, 2017 at 22:40 | comment | added | imsodin | Thanks at @shimizu for the correction, I removed my erroneous earlier comment. One should always be careful with terminology, especially outside of ones home turf... Also I feel this answer is downvoted for a non-issue. The rest of the answer is good and does not depend on that one statement. So I would really like to see that explained/corrected/removed such that this answer can get the upvotes it deserves. | |
| Jan 27, 2017 at 18:43 | comment | added | shimizu | Just to clarify, mercaptan is just a name for the sulfur-hydrogen functional group (-SH). By itself, it doesn't refer to any particular, well-defined molecule. You can have methyl mercaptan, ethyl mercaptan, etc. To your point, though, the molecule of interest, ethyl mercaptan, is heavier than propane. | |
| Jan 27, 2017 at 16:28 | comment | added | user11609 | Yes, I came across that in researching for the answer here. I don't know why, maybe it is because a different kind of mercaptan is used, or, there is a stabilizer or suspension used to regulate it in some way. Nevertheless, using the wrong kind of tank is like trying to put E10 gas inside an old engine, it will rot the engine out because the additives eat the lining of the engine. Mercaptan can do the same if the wrong tank or valves are used. | |
