Propane Tank Expiration Date Change
Went to fill up a 30 pounder and found out that my tank was going to expire in a few months...
New federal regulations:
The rule reduces the initial requalification period for DOT cylinders from 12 years to 10 years from the date of manufacture. It reduces the period from 12 years to 10 years for cylinders requalified using volumetric expansion testing. However, the requalification period for DOT cylinders following a proof pressure test increases from seven years to 10 years. The five-year visual inspection method for cylinder requalification does not change.
New tanks are about $70 out the door. Have no idea what a recertification of tank cost. Will find out this week.

I would be interested to know what the cost is myself. I've just been buying new tanks the last few years.

30lb tanks are $96.68 on the Wally World web site, & on sale for $66.27 on the camping world site.

By the time you go to all the trouble of getting one requalified you just as well get a new nice clean tank. I think after the first time you haft to do it every 5 years.

Tractor Supply sells them for $69.99 most of the time around here. Not bad for 10 years worth of use.

Checked today, recertification will be $12.75 here in Tucson. I guess it is cheaper than the $70.00 for a new tank.
