LPG cylinders (cooking gas) expiry date

Have u ever heard about LPG gas cylinder's expire date. I also didn't
know. I'm sure many of us not aware about this.

How to find LPG cylinder's expiry date

Very important information.

Most of us do not know this. I came to know today from the gas stockist,
because here one accident occurred.

Do you know that there is an expiry date (physical life) for LPG
cylinders?

Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause accidents. In this
regard please be cautious at the time of accepting any LPG cylinder from
the vendor.

Here is how we can check the expiry of LPG cylinders:

On one of three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date is coded
alpha-numerically as follows A or B or C or D and some two digit number
following this e.g. D08.

The alphabets stand for quarters -

A for March (First Qtr),

B for June (Second Qtr),

C for Sept (Third Qtr), &

D for December (FourthQtr).

The digits stand for the year till it is valid.

Hence D06 would mean December qtr of 2008.
