A 15 YO tank will have some 'distillate' oil residue. If the tank is empty (no pressure) you can open that drain and reseal it with YELLOW teflon tape. Refill tank as normal and check for leaks.
WHen he says EMPTY he means 100% empty, and following that you will need to purge the tank.
So change the YOU in his statement to a PROPANE TANK INSPECTION FACILITY and you are much better off.. you need a professional.
In Flint, MI, I'd go to Parker's Propane.. Google them, find a "look-alike" near you and you have my suggestion.
Propane properly handled is very safe.. No more dangerous than gasoline, and in fact, likely less so.
Propane when untrained amateurs start messing with it.. I would rather be a long way from them. I grew up with propane.. I know the dangers. and that job.. I WOULD NOT DO MYSELF.
