Propane cylinder recall

[s/v Faith]

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

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...
