You can't inspect the cylinder interior without bleeding the propane.
For $5 I smell a rat.
Propane Tanks are not subject to DOT certifications, therefore no inspection even on 50 yo.
And yes, there are lot of 50 yo tanks around.
No rat, whatsoever. I had 3 tanks recertified at my local farm supply store last year while I waited. They are also a propane supplier and can change valves and do ANY service required on propane cylinders. The standard recertification is simply an external corrosion and damage inspection. I watched while he did it. He did replace the warning labels and ID labels which had been severely scraped and defaced through use. NO INTERNAL INSPECTION REQUIRED.
