SAFETY WARNING
Anhydrous ammonia and propane cylinders
For those of you who like to grill it up during the summer, here's a
safety announcement you should be aware of. Please put this information
out to ALL. For those of you who exchange your propane tanks,
this is something you definitely need to be aware of. Meth cooks are
getting propane tanks from 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 greenish
residue around the valve areas.
If it is present, refuse to purchase that tank.
