Living in Canada, I too know about the 'no need to certify the tank every 10 years" rule. But, as others have stated, it looked like it needed care. The tag had lifted off 2 corners from rust build up under it. However - on inspection, the tag is made of cheaper steel than the tank and it did all the rusting. After sandblasting the tank in my garage, and painting it with Tremclad paint, it looks like new. I carefully masked all valves and fittings.
Superior Propane here (in Calgary) no longer do RV tank work, so I took it to Trailer Town. They quoted just over $200 to remove, sandblast and paint the tank - with Tremclad, and then test it. Now they only have to pressure and leak test it.
Only problem now is replacing the original safety stickers. Manchester declined to supply me with any. Auto Stop is no longer in business. So based on photos of my tattered decals, I've recreated new ones in Corel Draw and will laminate them and re apply with adhesive.
However I'm missing a few words off the Auto Stop decal. Can any one supply the wording, or a photo of one?
I can't see paying anyone $1300 for a tank replacement.
