"Some good info for first summer holiday weekend"...
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 (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.

Rain, thanks for the heads up on this.
Meth users, sometimes we can tell just by looking
at them that they started using.
See you in chat!

Hi Rain
Thanks for the heads up on this. Could be a very dangerous situation for sure!!
We own our propane tank and take it to be refilled when needed. However for those that use the exchange program of propane tanks this is definately something you need to be aware of.
Love ya

Thanks and hugs,
