Make your Fourth of July cookout a safe one. U-Haul is performing free safety checks this week at more than 1,200 Company-owned centers where propane refills are sold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nFree safety checks are available this week at more than 1,200 U-Haul-owned and -operated stores where propane refills are sold<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nSummertime demand for propane spikes prior to July 4, widely considered the busiest grilling day of the year. The annual U-Haul safety campaign includes free inspections and qualification checks on tanks while sending customers home with free dust caps, free dust plugs, a free fresh tank sleeve, and free tie-down twine to secure their propane tank in a full upright position as they travel.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe take propane safety seriously,\u201d U-Haul Propane Manager Scott Johnson said. \u201cU-Haul propane-certified technicians will check the qualification date on each cylinder, examine the valve for leaks, and inspect the tank for dents, cracks, gouges and rust. We want people to enjoy their holiday without worrying about their tank\u2019s safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nIn addition to propane refills, U-Haul offers propane exchange and delivery at a number of its locations. Find tank exchange sites and serviceable zip codes for propane delivery at uhaul.com\/propane<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n
