Dear Sir/Madam:

The representations made in this letter are based solely on discussions with and
representations from the engagement partner on the audits of the financial
statements of these registrants for the two most recent fiscal years. This
individual is no longer with Arthur Andersen LLP. We have read the first four
paragraphs of Item 4 as they relate to Arthur Andersen LLP included in the Form
8-K/A dated May 21, 2002 of AmeriGas Partners, L.P., AmeriGas Finance Corp.,
AmeriGas Eagle Finance Corp. and AP Eagle Finance Corp. to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and have found no basis for disagreement with
the statements contained therein.

Very truly yours,



Arthur Andersen LLP
