Date on Propane Tanks
Where do I find the date on a propane tank and is the meaning obvious or do I have to decode it? If so, how?

- Ask any 7-year old in your neighborhood to come over with spray bottle of soapy water and he will find it for ya.
From what I remember following recertifications are every 5 years. - Thanks, Old-Biscuit. That's just the information I was looking for. Thanks also for the nomenclature enlightenment. I will attempt to remember to call a cylinder a cylinder.
If I want to track down a propane leak, how would you suggest I locate a qualified person to do that? - I have told by Propane dealers that they not only look at the date on the cylinder. They also look at the condition of the cylinder for dents, rust or any other type of damage.
- Propane TANK...........non issue. They are NOT required to be re-certified.
Propane CYLINDER.......re-certification required 12 yrs AFTER date of mfg.
Date of mfg. is stamped on safety collar
