So, the reason why they need to be requalified is for insurance purposes. If you have a propane event, and your coach burns down or you get injured or worse, the insurance company will look at the date on the cylinder. If it is not current, or is out of date, they can deny your claim based on the issue that the cylinder may have had a problem that would have been detected if it was recertified. Get it?

Just curious, does anyone know first hand of an example where this has happened? Jim

This is the mantra put forth by the Fire Protection Industry. I would think it's only to justify their requirements to have cylinders recertified so they can earn money, but then what are the chances that we would know if it's happened or not, unless it's happened to us specifically? Rare are the incidents caused by faulty cylinders. Still, I would say to have them recertified according to schedule, as it's just safe and responsible.
