Rick, NFPA 58 LP Gas Code (2011 edition) says all tanks have to have OPD protection, with the exceptions of cylinders used for powered industrial trucks and industrial welding and cutting. With that, I think you would be hard pressed to find a facility in the US that would refill an old style tan

I had my 10lb aluminum tank re-valved and re-certified a couple years ago. I seem to recall it was about 1/4 of the cost of a new aluminum tank. I brought it to a local place "American Compressed Gas" that refills propane tanks. I am sure if they can't re-certify they will tell you. Eric C&C 34/

Really, I wouldn't try this myself; any sort of accident or explosion, and your insurance company would refuse to pay, and rightly so. It doesn't cost that much that I'd take the chance. And I don't think the propane places that do this work would sell you just the valve, in any case. Fred St

I got a fiberglass tank that fit in the existing locker. Fiberglass tanks have to be recertified. I think the interval is every five years. The OPV valve will not affect the operation of your stove or hot water heater. Alan Bergen C&C 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR __

You can go ahead and use the old-style valves; at least until you run out of propane. As far as I know, you can NOT get non-OPV tanks refilled anywhere in the U.S. any more. And if your tanks are old enough, you can't retrofit the OPV valves without getting the tanks re-certified first. You'r
