Heck, I keep a couple small Coleman camping size propane bottles in my house and get a bit nervous - anyone know how long the shelf life is on those seals?

Two or three of them must be 12 yrs old or more.

We were recently without power for 25 hours this winter and used our Coleman stove with that little bottle of propane that had to be 10 years old. No problem. We had it stored in the garage so the bottles look brand new. We expect ours to last forever as long as they don’t have a leak and are stored safely.

I wouldn’t think you’d be in any immediate danger, but after 12 years, I think you’ve amortized out their usefulness as preparedness supplies. Get some new ones!
