PROPANE TANKS 

American Welding & Tank LLC is recalling Conversion Underground Propane Storage Tanks sold in the eastern United States from January 2005 to April 2008. An odorant is added to propane to help alert customers to propane leaks, but rust inside a propane tank can cause the odor to fade. Some converted above-ground to underground converted tanks can have an increased susceptibility to odor fade, causing consumers to be unable to detect the odor of propane in the event of a gas leak. This can pose a fire and burn hazard to consumers if there is a leak in the propane gas system. 

The recall includes 120 gallon to 1,000 gallon underground propane storage tanks which were previously converted from above-ground to underground storage tanks in the period of January 2005 through April 2008. 

Necessary repairs will be performed at the tank by the retail propane company.
