[C320-list] Obsolete propane tank

[Amshd2]

Guys

About 4 years ago I had to have my value replaced and tank inspected.  I think both cost about $30 at a place on Route 2 just south of Annapolis, hey also fill tanks. I think it is Anna Arundel Gas. 3177 Solomons Island Rd, Edgewater, MD 21037

They told me that tanks have to be inspected ever couple of years.

 I wonder if your propane tank concern is a local or state code question. My
 tank was over 15 years old when I last filled it. If you have not updated
 the valve to the new standard, that could be a contributing variable.

 Over the weekend I took our propane tank to get filled.  The man at the ACE
 hardware store said the date  - 1998  - was older than 12 years and after
 12
 years a tank had to be recertified or replaced.  When I called about having
 it recertified I was told it would probably be cheaper to replace it.  So
 I'm curious , has anyone else run into this and, if so, what did you do?
  If
 you purchased a replacement, where did you find the small tank?
