For first timers, you can't beat the price.

But, you have to live where they're availabe.

Until some psycho opens the valve, lays it on its side in front of
your door, and kills you while you eat lunch.

If you open the valve of any modern propane tank, nothing happens. You
need the regulator plugged in to depress the safety valve in the valve
body.

How did that come about? Gov't regulation? Hmm... just asking.

Actually it came from NFPA, the same people who write the gas code and
the electrical code.
That is a private not for profit corporation.

So, they must be a failure then... since I seem to recall someone
saying non-profits aren't viable or some such nonsense.

Or, perhaps we shouldn't bother to follow the regs...
