Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Propane tanks

[HeyCLOWNeY@aol.com]

I spoke to a company about  ethyl mercaptan and they told me if i use bleach 
inside the tank it will convert the mercaptan to a much less odiferous 
compound,,then they advise steam cleaning the mercaptain out of the surface 
of the metal,,they did say that if the tank is still compleate to make sure 
it has a good opening,,they claim they have collapsed a tank ,a large tank 
when the steam cooled and created a vacum..also i have a freind,,a marine 
biologist at the brookhaven lab and he tells me mercaptain is a carcinagyn 
and is harm full even at 5 parts per million
