"It's against the law for sellers of Propane to fill a DOT propane tank that is 12 years or older that has not been re-certified. The propane tank must be recertified by a facility that is certified to do DOT Tank recertification. Some large Propane suppliers and some RV repair facilities are certified to do the DOT Tank recertification.
When the DOT Tank is inspected and passes it is recertified for 5 years and must be re-inspected and recertified every 5 years thereafter. Every time it is recertified a new re-certification label is affixed to the DOT Propane Tank."
Please be careful with propane, and have you whole system checked out.
You are referring to the removable tanks. If his tank is chassis mounted to the frame those rules don't apply. It has been suggested you take it to a propane dealer for service, not Camping World. The propane dealers I have had experience with have been very reasonable in their pricing. Find out what they would charge for a replacement valve.
