I know this could also be on the gas forum, but I have 2 AU's on gas and almost never go there. I still ask my gas questions here, because this is where the action and good info is.
I know there are lots of us who run gas so I thought I'd post here. Cheers, GK LPG automotive tanks Date: 14/07/2006 Supplier Name: APA Manufacturing Pty Ltd Product Info: Codes A86, A86/9, A86f, A86f6, A86M and A86P manufactured between 18 April 2006 and 10 May 2006 Defect Details: Some of the steel used in the manufacture of the tanks has inconsistent levels of tensile strenth.

Anyway I came across it and thought others might want to know about it. Incidently, my tank was tested on the 1/6/06. There is no build date that I've found as such. I may need to ring APA about it though, to be on the safe side. If build date and test date are the same, I'm sweet. If not then I need to find out exactly when the tank in the SR was made. If it affected me though, I would have thought my gas installer would have contacted me, as APA should have contacted him. Surely they have records of which suppliers the suspect tanks went to. Well at least they should. Cheers, GK

Yeah ive seen this a fair bit. Most of the Servo's around here had notices on the LPG pump informing people.
It doesnt affect me, but i suppose a fair few are caught out there.
