same as 12 in New Hampshire...is it ? Maybe quasi science ??
Say it ain't so!!!! Does that mean that I am not really 67 years old? Are AZ years kinda like dog years? Here in NH when a cop stops you for drinking and asks how many beers have you been drinking. The answer is always..."Two beers sir." He knows that in NH we count beers as "Dog Beers". So two NH beers is like 14 Non Dog beers. So it doesn't work with NH cops. But they say, it does seem to work with Massachusetts cops.
But the propane deal is different. Several years ago, a family was blown out of their house, due to a faulty propane line repair by an unlicensed repairman. An 8 year old girl killed. Since then, it is very difficult to get a propane cylinder re-qualified. Even propane companies will not risk the liability. Have a faulty regulator on your gas grill? A propane supplier will not sell you a replacement unless they perform the replacement. The propane laws here are just crazy.
Every re-fill station that I have been to here in NH DOES CHECK the certification date. And they do enforce the 12 year date. RELIGIOUSLY.
I did not know about vacuum purging in a new tank. Good information. I need a new cylinder and will look for the purge tag.
