Bizman Cautions Against Use Of Expired Gas Cylinders

Cooking gas users in
the country, have been warned against the use of expired cylinders, over its high risk of fire accident and explosion.
This was revealed by a gas engineer, Mr Marcus Elendu, in a chat with The Tide Friday in Port Harcourt.
He blamed most domestic fire accidents on the use of expired gas cylinders and carelessness of the users.
Elendu, explained that gas cylinders have expiring dates just like any other product.
He did not give the exact duration, but advised that gas cylinders should not exceed two decades.
The gas expert, called on the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), to mount checks at gas re-filling stations as to enable them confiscate expired cylinders.
He regretted that some issues that concern the common-man were not taken seriously by the government and its agencies.
According to him, if concerned authorities could pay more attention to some products that are used by the commoners, the incidence of fire out break and industrial accidents would be reduced to its bearest minimum.
He further sued for the overhaul of all gas cylinders manufacturing industries as to enhance the quality of the product.
Blaming gas cylinder builders on what he tagged quick means of making wealth, he said more pragmatic steps should be followed as to restore users hope.
