How to find LPG cylinder's expiry date?

Very important information.

Most of us do not know 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. 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. D06.

The alphabets stand for quarters -
A for March (First Qtr),
B for June (Second Qtr),
C for Sept (Third Qtr), &
D for December (Fourth Qtr).
The digits stand for the year till it is valid.
Hence D08 would mean December qtr of 2007.

Do check for this when you get your LPG cylinder next time.

Share this message with everyone you know, your kind cooperation will save the life of many people and create awareness among the public.

Some of my friends have returned the cylinder when I posted a similar thread in another website. They read it and had become alert.

These are basic informations which we tend to ignore.
