1. A method for providing the benefits of natural gas for temporary gas supply installations for residential or commercial users who are not yet connected to the main natural gas pipeline grid, the method comprising:

  • using a source of LPG vapor and mixing this vapor with air at a pre-determined ratio, creating a vapor/air mixture with gas properties similar to those of natural gas, making the manufactured gas compatible and interchangeable with natural gas;

    creating a gas that burns with environmentally acceptable, low emissions;

    allowing the use of readily available appliances and other natural gas burning equipment without the need for later re-configuration when these devices are connected to the main natural gas pipeline grid;

    operating the gas-producing equipment without the need for continuous supervision or permanent staffing;

    operating the gas-producing equipment from a site close to the gas users, typically inside a residential or commercial development;

    operating the gas-producing equipment from small real estate lots without the need for large installation clearings.
