DOT Certification Requirement for portable propane cylinders WAS 12 yrs after date of mfg as stamped on collar
That requirement was modified as of Jan 23, 2017
12 yr certification was changed to 10 yrs
5 yr 'Visual Inspection' still 5 yr
7 yr 'Proof Pressure Testing' increased to 10 yr
12 yr 'Volumetric Expansion Testing' lowered to 10 yrs
Info is slow to update....SOME Bulk Vendors have new regs.
Some mom/pop outfits still using 12yr

Thanks OB. I didn't know that so good to know!
Guess I'll be visiting the exchange stations a bit sooner!
