[C320-list] Propane tank

[Jeff Hare]

Unless I'm mistaken, recertification (Requalification) on propane tanks is only good for an additional 5 years.

Is it different in your state somehow?

I had my OEM provided aluminum tank re-certified last year and they installed a new valve as part of that work. The whole job cost under $100, which was considerably less than a new aluminum tank.

Good for 10 more years!
