    Very specifically, for the purpose of import, I have it under the following categories and need to know the more specific category:

    Acyclic hydrocarbon - check
    Saturated - check

    But which of the following is it?

    Butane (Butane or Methylpropane) (umm I don’t think so)
    Hexanes
    Pentanes
    Ethane
    Other
