Anhydrous Ammonia Contamination
Click on Link Below for more info
Meth cooks are getting the propane tanks from the exchanges at Wal-Mart, Kroger, etc. and emptying them of the propane. Then, they are filling them with anhydrous ammonia (Yes they have a recipe!). After they are finished with the tanks, they return them to the store. The tanks are then refilled with propane and sent back for you and me to purchase/exchange. 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.
Caution!
The brass valve in a propane cylinder will be damaged if it comes in contact with anhydrous ammonia. This deterioration will lead to cracking of the valve body or its components and can ultimately result in a violent, unexpected expulsion of the valve from the cylinder, causing personal injury or death.
You should inspect the propane tank for any blue or green residue around the valve areas. If it is present, refuse topurchase that one. Check out the following website for more details.They also have pictures you can show. http://www.npga.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=529
