Default Propane Tank Notice From Dept. of Labor

Subject: FW: Propane Tank Notice From Dept. of Labor

This was sent to me by one of my friends at my gun club
http://www.cosci.org/

With summer outdoor cooking upon us all most people will be firing up their
grills.

Drug dealers cooking up 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 greenish residue around
the valve areas. If it is present, refuse to purchase that one."

Check out the following website for more details.
They also have pictures you can show.

After reading your prior posts, there's no possibility that I'd invite you!

I'd kick your ass if I saw you in a state that I could read that
tatoo anyway.
