Propane tank recertification
The 30lb tanks in my 5th wheel need to be recertified or replaced. I have tried to locate a place that does recertification near me in SW PA but no luck. The propane suppliers don't offer the service ...

I have a 30 gallon tank under the coach. The connection to fill is in the right rear compartment. Over 3 years of filling No One EVER has crawled under to in ad pact. I myself will inspect the tank just to make sure all is well.
You have a TANK
ASME has jurisdiction
NO inspection/recertification/requalification required because it is a TANK---permanently mounted.
DOT has jurisdiction over the Portable CYLINDERS.
They require recertification
Reason is because every jackamo can disconnect them, handle them, install them etc.
TANKS only need an inspection if damaged by fire, crash or heavily rusted. It is recommended that the relief valve be replaced after 10 yrs. But is a recommendation only
In Ontario all propane tanks, vehicle mounted or stationary require an inspection every 10 years, it is illegal for someone to fill one unless it has a sticker showing it is current.
In Ontario it is also illegal to pump gas into a motorhome unless the propane tank is shut off.
A lot of reg's were tightened up after a large explosion and fire in Toronto a few years back.
