I switched over the valves on my system a few years back, and have seen no 
difference in the way things work.  I'm not quite sure why someone would have 
problems; the ONLY thing the OPV valve does is keep the tank from being 
over-filled, sort of like a relief valve, but based on the actual propane level 
in the tank, not the pressure.

I've only seen the 10- and 20-lb tanks in the fiberglass.

You should be able to take them to any major propane distributor; they can 
change out the old valves to OPV, and should be able to advise you on where to 
get re-certified (assuming they can't handle that themselves).  But by the tim 
you pay to replace the valve AND re-certify the tank, a new tank might be the 
better option.
