Thinking of replacing ASME propane tank
I have had a 1997 Xplorer 230XL since 2000 and will keep it as long as I can drive. The ASME tank is mounted underneath the passenger side. I scrape and paint it every year or two, but I am worried ...

I lerned on this site that some propane filling stations will require you to have the tank inspected every so often. If it is passing inspection during filling it is fine. They are made of quite thick metal.
I have a Travel Trailer. My 2 propane tanks (or bottles if you prefer to call them that) on the front of the trailer require me to repaint them every couple of years. (My tanks don't have one of those plastic covers).
Even if you use Good spray paint it is still not that good. And, the tanks were not painted that good from the factory. If you want you could remove the tank, have is sandblasted, and then have a auto body shop repaint it will good paint. But, it would be easier and cheaper to just keep repainting it every year or two.
