Hey everyone just got this from family and since a lot of people have barbaquers I wanted to make sure you're safe.
This alert really IS from the National Propane Gas Assoc.
Be sure to click on the link at the bottom and look at the photos.
Meth cooks are getting propane tanks from the exchanges at Wal-Mart,
Kroger, etc. and emptying them of the propane. Then they are filling
them with anhydrous ammonia (which they now have a recipe for by the
way). After they are finished with them, they return them to the store.
They are then refilled with propane and sent back for you and me to buy.
Anhydrous ammonia is very corrosive and weakens the structure of the
tank.
It can be very dangerous when mixed with propane and hooked up to our
grills, etc. You should inspect the propane tank for any blue or
greenishresidue around the valve areas. If it is present, refuse to
purchase that one. Check out the following website for more details.
