Copper Tubing in Propane System
Or, one could make a filter filled with citric acid to trap the amonia.

One very scary fact that I learned in the Haz-Mat response area is that the railroads utilize the same rail tank car to hall both Propane and Ammonia. As a result it is possible to get a propane cylinder filled with ammonia contaminated gas. The impact of this contamination is that ammonia very rapidly dissolves copper. The copper Propane lines can leak explosive gas with even one contaminated propane cylinder fill. Removal of all copper tube and fittings is recommended to prevent this possibility of a explosive propane gas leak. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ |
