|tournament_births=1}}'''Propane''' is a three-carbon alkane with the molecular formula C3H8. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure, but compressible to a transportable liquid. A by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, it is commonly used as a fuel in domestic and industrial applications and in low-emissions public transportation. Discovered in 1857 by the French chemist Marcellin Berthelot, it became commercially available in the US by 1911. Propane is one of a group of liquefied petroleum gases (LP gases). The others include butane (a bastard gas), propylene, butadiene, butylene, isobutylene, and mixtures thereof. Propane has lower volumetric energy density, but higher gravimetric energy density and burns more cleanly than gasoline and coal.▼

Propane gas has become a popular choice for barbecues and portable stoves because its low -42 °C boiling point makes it vaporise inside pressurised liquid containers (2 phases). Propane powers buses, forklifts, taxis, outboard boat motors, and ice resurfacing machines and is used for heat and cooking in recreational vehicles and campers.

==Tournament History==
But most people know Propane from the animated sitcom, ''King of the Hill'' and through the reverence and devotion the show's main character, [[Hank Hill]], has for the gas. Due to Hank referring to Propane as a "sweet lady" multiple times in the series, it was able to qualify for [[Ms. /co/ 2022]]. To the surprise of many not only did it make past qualifiers, but it seeded at 45th place, nearly 20 seeds higher than its canon mate,
Propane's run was a controversial one. While it was a source of OC, many anons derided it as a meme pick that didn't belong on the competition due to it not even being a character in its own show. Some claimed Propane was being used as a symbol of spite againts the genuine fun-loving spirit of the tournament as a whole, often supported by fans of girls who had been eliminated earlier into the competition (namely ''Amphibia''). Another common point of criticism was how a majority of voters only supported the gas tank because it was seen as a surrogate vote for Hank, who was not allowed to participate that year due to the [[Elite Eight|Elite Eight rule]]. It was compared less favorably to [[Plank]], a frequent contender in [[Mr. /co/lympus Tournaments|Mr. /co/]] who despite also being an inanimate object was treated as a person by the characters in his show; and [https://saimoe.fandom.com/wiki/Ebony_%26_Ivory Ebony & Ivory], its counterpart and possible inspiration in the [https://saimoe.fandom.com/wiki/Queen_of_/v/_2021 Queen of /v/ tournament], which while was also source of controversy and bickering at the time, had an arguably much more fruitful campaign. This has lead to discussion about whether or not joke "characters" like Propane should even be allowed to qualify in future competitions.
In the final round of 2022's competition the host put the issue to vote, asking ''"Should a character be sentient? (Aka not just an object,) Unless they are treated like a character such as Plank."'', and ''"Should gag characters be allowed in? Ie men/women in disguise/objects/etc (Princess Marco, Propane, John Dark)"''. The results were 69.2% in favor for the former and 36.2% (compared to 30% voting for 'yes' and 33.9% voting for 'yes, but only one can make it into the bracket') voting 'no' against the latter. Going forward, this means iconic objects (for example, Elmer Fudd's infamous grilled cheese) are no longer eligible for any of the /co/ tournaments. However, as Propane had made it to the bracket before the vote was passed it falls under the Grandfather Clause and will be eligible to participate in 2023 and other future Ms. /co/ tournaments.
