Total propane

No I don't mean all or complete propane but "Total" the gas and fuel company in France which sells canisters of propane which is used heavily in France for cooking, even in homes and sometimes in outdoor grills. Unlike America where anyone can take a propane tank and switch it out at any number of stores, in France one must have an account, for example with Total, containing personal information, address, name, phone number so a tank's origin can be identified and traced back to a person, an intelligent concept in this day and age of bombs made from common household ingredients. So, unlike the USA, Total is not total, it is rather limited.
