get your propane from a company that sells lots of it. the grease accumulates in older used storage tanks.
just like diesel fuel, propane gets old, and some of the components, such as the smell material, which has grease in it, separate and accumulate in the bottom of the big tank. when the suppliers tank gets low, its put into your lp system. ive seen an rv lp system filled up so bad, i had to disconnect the lines and run a swab on a wire thru it to clean it out. its a smelly, and nasty job.its not a common problem.
