Propane tank Valve Problem???
We’re currently at Llano Grande RV Park in Mercedes, TX. Needed to have one of our 40# propane tanks filled yesterday. Propane is delivered to the park from a local propane dealer directly to you...

The tank had 4 more years to go. Because they replaced the valve they had to recertify it. It's good for another 5 years.
And then it can be re-certified for another 5 yrs.
In this area (MD Suburbs of DC) that recertification is expensive - at the rental center I frequent they have over 100 20# bottles and a similar number of 40# bottles waiting to be recycled.
I have just purchased replacements over the years.. I read some have taken them in to Rhino or similar and swapped them for newer bottles.
Not clear to me if that is "legal."
Yes swapping them out at exchange places is legal.
The exchange company will re-certify, update valves, pressure relief valves etc. unless cylinders are compromised then they will discard them.
