LPG oil?

I was disconnecting a 60LB propane tank this morning and lost some gas and ended up with a clear oil on my hands from the line. Best guess is, it seemed an awful lot like mineral oil.

Is it normal for propane tanks to have oil in them?

Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    Just a guess but it could be residual higher molecular weight hydrocarbons from the refining process. You get a little on each fill and it builds up over time.
