Mh propane capacity discrepency
Our 05 Revolution has a 38.4 gallon propane tank. The factory replaced the original tank circa 2008. We let the tank run down to an indicated empty lat night. Filled it this am but it would only tak...

Both Butane (R-600a) and Propane (R-290) make excellent refrigerants. They have a zero factor of ozone depletion and are very good at returning lubricating oil back to the compressor that gets past the rings. Of course the BIG problem is their flammability.
At 0 psig Propane boils at -42C degrees (-44F) while Butane boils at -0.4C degrees (31F). Isobutane boils at -11.75C degrees (11F). So you can see, propane is much better for colder climates. It's possible to get the tank cold enough for it go into a vacuum - very undesirable!

Here's a chart showing the pressure/temperature of mixtures of butane and propane.
