Propane Tank Recertification?
Anyone in the PNW know of a good place to have a propane tank recertified? or a new valve replaced? I got an old tank with an old valve and a bit of propane in it, but it's the old valve you can't...

I did call suburban propane and just like the forums:) The answers are varied. Their suggestion was just to take it into a local Suburban Propane office to have it looked at. They said that they thought all horizontal tanks were grand fathered, but they said there were some exclusions or "maybe's" here and there.
A simple re certification was 15$, but depending on if, and or what kind of valve she said the total cost could go up to 90$.
I'll call an amerigas and get their thoughts, and probably take it in to be looked at soon.

I would have stopped posting sometimes back, but I think this is a very important subject. It is pointless to provide supporting links on any subject, if people do not read them. To simply recognize they were posted is a good start.
