Officers are destroying tanks that contain anhydrous ammonia
(agricultural fertilizer), a precursor used to manufacture
methamphetamine.
Anhydrous ammonia escapes from an improvised propane tank.
The bluish-green discoloration of the valve on the tank
indicates that it has been in contact with anhydrous ammonia.
Most tanks that have been converted to hold anhydrous
ammonia will have altered valve assemblies due to the corrosive
nature of the liquid.
Converted tanks often are painted
or camouflaged so they can be easily hidden.
