I don't know if this is just a local thing or what, but around here, they're making everyone upgrade to these new-fangled propane tanks (for the grill) with a device called an "Overfill Protection Device". They have a totally different fitting on the tank, so you are forced into buying a 7 dollar adaptor, and a new 60 dollar tank with the OPD.
Personally, I think this is a bunch of marketing Communist Sh*t. I mean, really, people... When's the last time you heard of an injury or fatality from some numb nutz overfilling his propane tank?!? I challenge ANYONE here to show me statistics.
And on top of it, they have a "Deposit Fee" to take the OLD tank off your hands. More propaganda. Why in the world would I PAY someone to take my old propane tank?!?
If it can't be reused ever again, well hell! I'm taking it out back and shooting at it until it explodes. THAT ought to make for some good Independence Day fireworks, eh?
