LPG Tanks

Hope I am not too late to chime in here. I agree with Jimkate. It is my understanding that in Canada, if the unit is sold by a dealer then the propane tank must be inspected and certified, however certification is not required on a private sale. Also, remember that propane tanks do not rust on the inside as there is no oxygen so give the outside a good visual inspection and if no excessive rust you are probably good to go. Keep in mind the valves and that they are in good working order. I drove a 1986 Triple E from Canada to Mexico until last year and never had a problem filling the propane. Mind you, I never went to a Flying J.

I pulled mine down a few years ago. Had some small surface rust. I used my right angle grinder with a wire wheel on it. Hit it with some sandpaper and repainted silver. Looked like brand new. Tank was still 1/3 full.

In the states, frame mounted tanks are ASME certified and do not require recertification. The portable 20#, 30# and 40# tanks are UL listed and do require recertification every 10 years.
