I'm getting ready to do some test cuts on a 20lb propane tank in preparation for converting a 40lb tank to a grill. I read someplace that propane gets into the metal of the tank and will leech back out after you've purged the tank. I've also read that what you smell is just the chemical they add to the gas that remains after you purge it. Which is it?
I took the valves off and filled the tanks with water to run all the remaining gas out, left it overnight to let any gas dissipate and then emptied the tanks back out the next day.
Safe to cut on with the plasma now?
