Yesterday, my dryer ran out of propane. I was drying a load of
laundry and didn't realise the gas had run out. When I checked the
clothes, they were damp-ish but they were covered in what looked like
blackish residue... some sort of dark black stuff. The lint filter
which is cleaned after every use, had black lint which did not come
from the light colored clothes.

I re-washed my clothes twice and then pretty successfully dried them.
Most of the black stuff came off although one shirt still has the
black marks on it and I had to use some bleach type detergent which
isn't the best for some of the clothes I was drying.

My question is this...what happened? How did something dark sooty
looking come into my dryer, which is only about 4 years old? Did it
come from the bottom of the propane tank? I want to avoid it ever
happening, of course in the future.

Any help will be so greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Thats called SOOT.

When you ran low, and the pressure dropped, you started to soot, and this
got into your clothes and dryer.

Ought to see a furnace thats been run low on pane and ran til it quit...
