Propane tank recertification

I have tanks that need to recertified also. After checking the prices I decided to buy new at a propane distributor for 58 bucks and get them filled somewhere else their propane is a buck a gallon more, go figure. I am also going to replace the regulator and the hoses while I am doing it. I love all new. Everything is older than 12 years.

For peace of mind on a 13 year old tank, I would replace them. $62 at Camping World and about every other place listed. They hold about 7 gallons so add your cost per gallon LP in your area. Doug

I have had my tanks re-certified at the LPG distribution companies. The guys who sell it to tractor supply, and others.

Not all places check the expiry or re-certify date(s). For the past two (2) yrs. I've taken one of my - 'pass due date' tanks to a place where the tech. does not check!! Some readers may feel it might be unsafe to do this - but I think it's just another "rip off". bb

I always got mine filled at Tractor Supply close by and good cost. Never had them check but they updated their policy at least at my store and check every tank. Not in date not filled

Having my two tanks recertified as we speak. $10 each plus fill.
New tanks are 85 dollars filled. Find a propane whosaler and ask them. Most all local dealers will not, but whosalers usually do.

I called every propane wholesaler near me and none offer it or can recommend a place. I did have some luck searching under welding gases but most send the tanks out and the turn around time is very long over a month

I tried both my local Lowea and Home Depot and Home Depot will allow me to order online and ship to store and Lowes although on website it tells you to contact store and my Lowes does not offer them.

Tractor Supply has them around $70 buck or so in stock. I found one place that will send them out for certification for $35 but the turn around time is a month and a half.

I think I might just get new ones at tractor supply as finding a certification place is not working out

I thought I read there was a new ruling that the small tanks didn't need recertified for 12 years now. But a quick search didn't come up with anything... I know I read that somewhere recently...
