| PROPANE TANK ALERT !! |
  |
With the summer months coming
I'm sure most people
will be firing up the grill. Please
provide widest dissemination to you
unit personnel.
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.
