Hi, I’m Mason, and I love visiting campgrounds, RV parks and paintball fields throughout the midwest. I currently live in the St. Louis, Missouri area but I enjoy traveling whenever I can.
Many people are always wanting to know why they should have their Liquid Propane tank filled up, instead of going to the propane tank exchanges that you see at the major retail stores.
There are several reasons you should keep your own tank and have it filled. First off, tanks have a certain life span available before needing to be retested. If your is fairly new, and you trade it for another one, do you know how long it may be good for? Is it going to expire before you get a chance to use all the propane gas in it. Is the exchange company then going to take it back since it is now expired? What if you then can not find an exchange place, and need to have it filled at a LP bottle filling station. If it is out of date, you won’t be able to.
If you are not in an area to get your liquid propane bottle filled at a fill station and you have to exchange it, make sure you look at the dates on the one you are getting. Ask the company you are getting it from how much longer the propane tank will be good. Do not be afraid to ask for a different cylinder that may have a longer life span to it.
What about knowing how the propane tank was used and what it was used for before you got it. Most people are not aware that drug manufacturing uses LP tanks to put Anhydrous Ammonia in to help make Methamphetamine. Overtime this will cause the nozzle, fill valve and handle to corrode and break down. What if that happens when the bottle is in your possession. Do you know the signs to look for? It may even take time for the signs to appear on the outside, while the inside may be about to break apart.
If you or someone you know is looking for the perfect camping park, campsites, RV park or paintball fields, then I invite you to visit YouTube.com/campingstl for additional tips and ideas that can make it the best experience ever.
I’ve also got a gift for you that I think can help you avoid a forgetful moment that could ruin your camping trip before it ever gets started. Me and my staff developed a checklist of the essential items you are likely to need before you go camping. If you go to www.campinginstlouis.com, you can request a copy of the “Disaster or delight-Must Have Items” checklist. It’s free and I hope it helps. If you’re ever in the St. Louis area or have questions even though you’re not, feel free to call some of my friends over at Pin Oak Creek RV Park and Paintball they are great folks and can be reached at 888-474-6625
