My tanks have been out of certification for years. No one ever bats an eye at refilling them.
Your propane cylinders would have to have been mfg. prior to 2005 to be 'out of date' under 'old' DOT re-certification requirement as re-cert was 12 yrs after date of mfg.
NEW DOT Re-certification NOW 10 yrs after date of mfg. stamped on collar
(EFFECTIVE Jan. 23, 2017)
Visual inspection ----still good for 5 yrs
Proof Pressure Test...was good for 7 yrs---NOW good for 10 yrs
Volumetric Expansion Test...was good for 12 yrs---Now good for 10 yrs
So if your propane cylinders were mfg. prior to 2007 they ARE out of date
