Those cool new fiberglass propane cylinders....
Yea, they are being recalled. Worst part is there does not appear to be a refund or replacement involved.
PHMSA Orders Recall of Cylinders Manufactured by The Lite Cylinder Company
Composite gas cylinders found to be unsafe (http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/portal/site/PHMSA/menuitem.ebdc7a8a7e39f2e55cf2031050248a0c/?vgnextoid=7c7384ae997be310VgnVCM100000d2c97898RCRD&vgnextchannel=d248724dd7d6c010VgnVCM10000080e8a8c0RCRD&vgnextfmt=print)
Just to clarify, this only affects one brand. Apparently there are at least 3 companies making these...
Adding to the confusion though, the recalled tanks were sold under 2 different brand names after the original company folded and was purchased by someone else. ???
Heh....I almost bought two of those tanks before I decided to go with kerosene instead.
Phew...
