5 yr re-cert is a 'External Visual' inspection only (Majority of re-certs done)

7 yr re-cert is a 'Proof-Pressure' test/inspection

12 yr re-cert is a 'Volumetric Expansion' test/inspection

Fees vary by region/facility and/or method used.

Most ALL BULK propane dealers do re-certs

Suburban Propane, Amerigas, Davenport Energy or Blue Ridge Propane over in Roanoke should handle re-certs (20 miles from Salem)

Thanks OB. Amerigas is the first one I checked. They referred me to a propane supplier in Bedford ~ 45 miles away. Would have to drive there, take a chance that the guy was there, leave tank if not, drive back again..... Will call the others tomorrow. Thanks for taking time to reply.
Whats ticks me off, the "old" tank still looks brand new.

This is the cheapest I've come across.

This issue was one of the reasons I spec'ed both my Outfitters with 20lb BBQ tanks and had Bob do the modifications to allow it.

First camper I replaced the horizontal tank while the second was to deal with the 40lb vertical tank.

I know when I looked into getting some older 20lb tanks re-certified the cost was prohibitive since the re-certification also needed to include installation of the new style OPD valve. I could buy a new tank from Costco for less then they wanted so I did.

Yea, hindsite 20/20. Wish I had ordered special options now but I'll deal with what I have. Probably bite the bullet and spend the $180.

It's a horizontal tank not your adverage BBQ tank.

I see 2 quite different cylinders on the link.

Horizontal Propane Tank,

This is where I bought the 2 I had to replace

Could you go ASME tank instead of a cylinder? No more recert.

Not exactly low cost option.
