At a recent meth training/workshop for law enforcement there was a lot of great new information presented. I wanted to let you all know about one thing of importance. Meth cooks are getting the propane tanks from the exchanges at Wal-Mart, Kroger, etc. and emptying them of the propane. 
Then, they are filling them with anhydrous ammonia (which they now have a recipe for, by the way). After they are finished with them, they return them to the store. They are then refilled with propane and sent back for you and me to buy. Anhydrous ammonia is very corrosive and weakens the structure of the tank. It can be very dangerous when mixed with propane and hooked up to our grills, etc. According to the presenter, you should inspect the propane tank for any blue or greenish residue around the valve areas. If it is present, refuse to purchase that one.'
You should check out the following website for more details. They also have pictures you can show.
