Gas bottles color by miker7
Is there a difference between the green and yellow gas bottles? When replacing do I have to get the same color or doesn't it matter?
Phone liquigas and they will send a truck to your door. You can be sure their bottles are full and safe. They use green or yellow. Avoid the black ones. Read More
