Refillable propane tanks must be inspected by a trained professional or replaced 10 years after they’re made

**** Via HRFE Did you know? Refillable propane tanks must be inspected by a trained professional or replaced 10 years after they’re made. Here’s how to check your propane tank before using it: • Look for the stamped date (month and year) on the collar; if there’s more than one date stamped, the tank has been inspected—use the most recent date and count 10 years • Check tanks, hoses and connections for leaks by brushing on a soap and water mixture; bubbles indicate a leak • Do not use the tank if it’s rusty, dented, damaged or you’re unsure it’s safe—replace it • When transporting propane tanks, keep them upright and secured, open vehicle windows and go straight home—never leave tanks in a vehicle Regular checks and proper handling can help keep propane tanks and your home safe. -
