Barbeque Safety Alert

Summer Safety Alert

Methamphetamine cooks are buying propane tanks from the
exchanges at Wal-Mart, Kroger, and emptying them of the
propane gas. Then they fill the propane tanks with
anhydrous ammonia, which they now have a recipe to cook
Methamphetamine. After they are finished with the propane
tanks, they return them to the store. The stores refill the
tanks with propane gas, unknowing to them the improper
substance that was inserted in the tanks and sell them to
their consumers. Anhydrous ammonia is very corrosive and
weakens the structure of the tank. It can be very dangerous
when mixed with propane gas and hooked up to a grill,
recreation vehicle, etc.

You should inspect the propane tank for any blue or
greenish residue around the valve areas. If there are
evidences of these substances, do not purchase the propane
tank and advise the vendor of your findings.

The information was researched, and you should check out
the following website for more details. They also have
pictures for you to view.
