Q. What is propane?
A. Propane is a cleaner-burning fuel that comes from natural gas processing and petroleum refining. It’s stored as a liquid under pressure in tanks and turns into a gas when the pressure is released, making it easy to transport and store compactly. This portability makes propane a reliable energy source for homes, farms and businesses, especially those not connected to a natural gas line.
Q. Is propane safe?
A. Yes, propane is very safe. The industry adheres to strict safety codes set by organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Propane tanks are made of durable steel designed to withstand high pressure and harsh weather. Propane is also nontoxic, so it won’t contaminate soil or water if a leak occurs. To aid quick detection of a leak, a strong, rotten-egg-like odor is added to it.
Q. I smell propane gas. What should I do?
A. If you smell that distinct odor of propane, act quickly. First, immediately put out all open flames, like candles or fireplaces, and any smoking materials. Do not create a spark; this means no flipping light switches, using appliances or using any phones while inside. Next, evacuate everyone from the building. Once you are a safe distance away, use a mobile phone or a neighbor’s phone to call Hill Gas and 911 to report the leak. Do not go back inside until one of our qualified technicians has inspected the area and declared it safe.
Q. Does propane go bad?
A. Unlike gasoline or diesel, propane does not expire or degrade over time. Its chemical structure is incredibly stable, meaning it won’t break down or lose its effectiveness, even after long storage periods. Its exceptional stability makes it an incredibly reliable fuel source. Because of this, propane is the perfect choice for applications like backup generators or for seasonal properties where fuel might go unused for months. When stored correctly in a proper tank, propane can last for decades, always ready whenever you need it.
Q. How often will I need a propane delivery?
A. The frequency of propane deliveries varies based on your tank size, usage, and the number of appliances you power with it. A home using propane just for a water heater will need fewer refills than a business using it for heat. To avoid running out, we recommend our Keep Full automatic delivery service. We’ll monitor your tank level and schedule refills for you.
While many folks may believe that De Leon was named after the famed explorer Ponce de León, it was actually named after the nearby Leon River.
The area that is now De Leon was laid out in the 1880s ahead of expansion of the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad, often called the Katy. The goal was to establish a rail line from Ross to Stamford, with hopes of extending the line all the way up to Colorado.
De Leon’s population was less than 1,000 until 1910, when a new Texas Central rail line, leased by the Katy Railroad, was built connecting it to Rising Star and Cross Plains. This railway made De Leon the only town in Comanche County with a rail station, transforming it into a vital hub for the Katy and linking it to Waco, Albany, and Cross Plains. The influx of railroad crews and their families helped enlarge the community, pushing the population to 1,015 by 1910.
The original line, known as the Peanut Line, is still operated by the Fort Worth & Western Railroad, a lasting reminder of the railway’s role in shaping the town’s identity and growth.
One of De Leon’s most notable events was Elvis Presley’s only paid performance dedicated entirely to gospel music. This historic moment occurred at Hodges Park on July 4, 1955, during the “Battle of Songs” show. Presley took the stage after the Blackwood Brothers, his close friends, who had tragically lost family members in a plane crash in Alabama the year before, just ahead of a planned appearance in De Leon. The Blackwood Brothers paid tribute to their loved ones with a heartfelt performance, followed by Presley’s moving gospel set.
