Propane tanks 10 years old, what is best choice ???

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I can't see why anybody would advise somebody to avoid a business because they want to follow SAFETY REGULATIONS enacted to protect you and the public?

You are correct, I should not have posted that. But it's not like they seize the tanks if they are out of date, they just send you on your way. Free to go to the next propane fill place. So someone determined to avoid the inspection can do so.
