Tanknanny - safety of propane tanks Â
Â
Grill
Â
It is to be-B-Que season bar at home. It is a favorite of women in my time of year, because she knows that the old does not mind going on the deck with a beverage or two, and light the barbecue. Spring is ideal for outdoor grilling, but the worst is that I have to get the grill ready and fill the propane tank.
The Tank
Â
Until now, securing propane tanks to transport was a galley. I first had to clean it real well so it will not get the rust and grease everywhere inside the car. Then came the task of calculating a way to fix it so it would not roll. I could always clean the car, but if the tank is tilted, I might have a propane leak. In addition, there was always the risk that unsecured twenty pound propane tank filled with highly flammable flying around the car if I had an accident or had to brake quickly.
Â
When I saw the As Seen On TV spot for the Tanknanny , I knew I had to have one, so I ordered. Until I read their material, I do not know it was against federal law to transport propane cylinders not secured, so I'm not a criminal. I felt very well that 80% of materials used for the manufacture of plastics are recycled Tanknanny then a thought has been put into production.
Tanknanny stability
Â
It is really easy to use. I used two different ways. The first was was to put it on the floor before the front seat passenger side. I slipped on the back seat, put the Tanknanny on the ground, fell into the tank and was taken to traverse. They announce that it is stable up to 30-35 km / h, but I put a towel on top of the tank just in case she passed (which it did not). I then put the Tanknanny on the passenger seat before used seat belts to secure the slot in the side and dropped the tank in. I even put a towel on the tank, but it was not really necessary.
Â
It's really something that is advertised. For about $ 28 (including shipping) I have peace of mind knowing that I am carrying the tank safely ... well I'm not breaking the law.
