Just a reminder, most of you are aware of, that propane is heavier than air and
will collect in the bilge if you have a bad tank. Makes a bad tank a high
risk.I have vague recollections of a rather bad explosion on a black boat on
Lake Michigan back in the early nineties.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1 STL

The OPD fitting is simply a new valve that is screwed into the tank, replacing
the original valve. There is no welding involved in installing a new OPD
valve. The certification dates are stamped (or engraved) onto the collar of
the tank--there is no magic to this. While I am not advocating this, anyone
could put a new date on the collar of the tank and it wouldn't be questioned.
Again, if you have a carbon steel tank and it is out of date, throw it away and
get a new tank--they are not worth messing with. Also, any person who might
fill your steel tank could refuse to fill it on the basis of rust, regardless
of the last certification date.
