Dumb Propane tank question
sorry about the dumb question. my TT is up to my seasonal camp.. it came with two normal size tanks which im assuming are 5lb tanks.. my one tank is almost empty... the campground charges almost $20.0...

I should have done it this way as I was only replying to Old Biscuits last comment below.Now it's not petty because as you see this licensed DOT propane agent re certifies propane tanks.
Ted Johnson Propane is a licensed DOT propane tank recertifying agent. We perform a full tank inspection which is included in the tank recertifying process.
Here is a description of what we do for you:
Check the tank date of manufacture
Check the tank for leaks
Check to make sure the tank has the required decals
Check the valve guard
Check the foot-ring
Check for dents & gouges
Check for rust
Replace the relief valve – This valve is set to release any excess pressure in the propane tank. The valve is equipped with a protective cap to keep the valve clean from water and debris. The relief valve must be replaced within 12 years of the date of manufacture of the container and every 10 years thereafter. See NFPA 58 Sec 2-3.2.5.

Your propane cylinder will need recertified 12 yrs after date of mfg.
A propane tank doesn't.
That's why the difference.
Education is a great thing.....
