Walk the tank, the regulator, and the hose end before you open a valve. That is the job on every residential pad this week. The Santa Fe New Mexican reported a house fire in Algodones that included a propane explosion. No one was hurt. The report does not say what failed. You still own those minutes on the pad. Fill first and look second, and you miss the dent, the wet regulator, or the hose that never should have left the reel.
