Said that one should burn off the contents of the
tank, and then take it back to the store for refund
or exchange. I wonder if it would power a
portable heater, it's a shame to waste that
perfectly good combustible gas.

Ohio based Worthington Cylinders has issued a voluntary recall of its
MAP-Pro, Propylene and MAPP cylinders due to a potential leak.

Established in 1955, Worthington Cylinders prides itself in the safety
of its products and in workplace safety. In keeping with this mission
statement, the company has issued a voluntary recall of a number of its
cylinders.

The MAP-Pro, Propylene and MAPP cylinders have been recalled. According
to Worthington Cylinders this is due to, a potential leak occurring
when a torch or hose is disconnected from the cylinder.

The firm has not received reports of injuries or accidents related to
the issue.

For more information, or for instructions on how to dispose of or return
cylinders for a refund, visitwww.mapcylinder-recall.com

Basically it says that the seal in the valve can leak, so If you attach
a torch head just leave it on till the bottle is empty.

Thanks guys, (Steve, Stormin, and Bruce) I bought my small (14 oz ?)
bottle of mapp gas over ten years ago. I don't do much soldering
anymore, and then mostly just air and propane, but every once in a
while I need more heat for a job. And the mapp is there as back up.
