LPG Cylinders - expiry date

Most of us do not know about this.
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.
Consequently, be cautious while accepting an 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 A or B or C or D followed by a two digit number like e.g. D06.
The alphabets stand for quarters - A for March (First Qtr), B - June (Second Qtr), C-Sept (Third Qtr), & D for December (FourthQtr).
The digits stand for the year till it is valid.
Hence D06 would mean December qtr of 2006.
U may like to share this info with everyone you know, to benefit all.
Your interest and co-operation may save life/lives of many people and create awareness among the public...
