Title: Propane cylinder recall
Post by: s/v Faith on June 11, 2013, 03:14:54 PM
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.

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...
