LPG cylinders have an expiration date based on their physical life, after which they are not safe to use and may cause accidents. The expiration date is coded alphanumerically on the side of the cylinder with a letter representing the quarter (A=March, B=June, C=Sept, D=Dec) followed by two digits for the year, such as D06 meaning December 2006. People should check cylinder expiration dates when accepting them and return any that have expired to avoid hazardous leaks or accidents.
