Permanently mounted ASME tanks do NOT need recertification, only visual inspection when filling. Portable DOT cylinders do need certification at 10 ( I believe) years then every 5 after that.
I’m surprised you got someone so ignorant of the laws.
I don’t know about the OP’s area, but they certainly do in some places.
OK, WHAT places????? Doug ASME inspections are for obvious rust and do not require any certification.
Ontario, Manitoba & Saskatchewan all have mandatory 10 inspiration requirements. Even a stationery bulk tank in your yard must be recertified and bear an inspection label or they can’t be filled.
It’s admittedly a circle jerk when it comes to motorhomes though since the requirements don’t apply to out of Province plated vehicles and there’s nothing to say you can’t merely fill up before returning home.
