    Word of caution. Anytime you see one these pressure tanks, usually flammable propane/butane/YGrade, be aware of possible leaks passing by wrecks or while parked. No Smoking signs mean something. They won't always have odorant or be visible.

    Also, use extreme caution around pressure trailers loaded with Ammonia. These will be green placards, UN1005. They look identical to the propane tanks but will be placards, hopefully, with the green.

    If you park next to one leaking or meander into a cloud of AH, you will not survive. It shuts down the lungs.

    Few years back a Sheriff came onto a crash with a cloud, walked into it a few steps. That's as far as he made it.

    God Bless our Police/1st responders.

    Just Humble Opinion.

    Just last night the fire department had traffic stopped for some kind of accident. I stopped way far away from the fireman holding the stop sign because I wasn't stopping next to 4 burning flares. I'm confident in my equipment, but one vapor leak and one spark could be an instant cremation

    There are a great deal of idiots that walk around these trailers smoking. But nothing happens. Hell enterpise had a truck catch fire. Then the fire started to heat up the tank. But the pressure relief valves worked exactly like they were supposed to. And vented off the pressure. Yea the fire grew for a while. But the valves closed shut when pressure got low enough.
