Propane Tanks
A message from the Law Enforcement Network
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
personnel. For those of you who exchange your propane tanks, this is
something you definitely need to be aware of, especially in light of the
recent news of 'Meth-labs' in our area. Meth cooks are getting propane
tanks from exchanges at Wal-Mart, Kro ger, 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. Check out the following website for more details.
They also have pictures.
