Canadian Propane Tank Recertification in Washington
My 10 y.o. 30# DOT propane tank needed recertification to be refilled. The quoted price I got in Lower Mainland BC was more or less like a new tank. I had it done a couple of times at both sides of border years ago IIRC the cost was insignificant. So I have it done in Washington state for $5 with a tank refill. They will charge $10 without a refill.
What it involves was a visual inspection, leak checking of the fitting and a new label says visual requalified. It's good for another 5 years. I know the recertification in Canada requires a new valve and it was no more than $20 years ago. I just wonder if this tank can be refilled in Canada again. Due to the cost saving of refilling in the states, most of my propane refilling was done south of border. Has anyone had similar experience?
