Old propane tanks on new RVs

I doubt most people even think to look at the expiration date on their cylinders when getting them filled. and I know personally I have never had the guy tell me that I only had a yer or so left before expiration.

What i have found most often when refilling tanks is if the tank is clean and not rusty the guy never even looks the the date and just fills it.

I have never had anybody look at the date when exchanging tanks, but never had them fill a tank without checking the date. Of course, if somebody did not check I would worry about what other safety measures where missed.
