Only luggable tanks need that.
You are absolutely correct for USA standards.
You are absolutely incorrect for Canadian standards.
I can not fill my 28 year old ASME tank in Canada.

I’m positive that some fill stations won’t fill my tank. That’s what matters in the long run.
Canadian regulations are hard to pin down but I talked to a local propane recertifier and he said he probably wouldn’t pass mine due to the rust so I know I’m on borrowed time with it.

You don’t appear to know definitively if it’s rusted enough to be compromised soon. That’s step 1.
If it’s not like half rusted through, give it a Rustoleum rebuild and find a place that isn’t so nosy to get it filled.

Clean it up and paint it, they do not want to see rust. ASME tanks do not need to be certified in Canada. My motorhome 1986, tank is clean and painted.

A rack fabricated to hold two or three 20 lb BBQ cylinders upright could work using an automatic switchover regulator setup.
Can they be used/stored/transported on their side or 45 degrees?
