INCREASING lpg capacity ?
Are older tanks worth the effort or the expense? Does anyone actually check dates of manufacture ? Best to just buy new ? Best deals ?

That is dependent on the LP filler. The CORRECT way to fill a DOT tank is by weight.
A bunch of the guys I travel with that have trailers have retrofitted their units to allow them to run a standard 33 pound forklift tank because of the increased capacity and big cost savings.
Since these tanks have an 80% valve they are filled by the gallon so you don’t get hosed for a top-up, and have a design capacity of 7.9 gallons.
