When you take your cylinders to gas station who also sells propane as side business - they never take a look at certifications.
Done it 4 times in last year.
Never. Except when they do. My tanks have been checked every place I've ever taken them including gas stations selling propane. Expired date, they ask me to move along as they do not cert. Which is how I discovered my local RV parts/repair shop sells propane cheaper than anyone else and certs for $5.
It's luck of the draw and likely the locale, imo.
Not that many years ago, I and probably most of you had never heard of or seen propane tank re-certification. Now, at least around Western WA it's been more common for me to get turned away due to >10 years old and no re-cert.
Thus far in the last couple years, Tractor Supply, U-haul and a couple random gas stations have refused to refill older tanks. But most gas stations, out of the way places and even a propane sales/accessories place have re-filled with without question.
