Below is a copy of an email I got from a friend. It is important for the people who swap tanks.
<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. Click here.>
