The recertification is nothing more than a visual inspection to see if
there are any welds cracked or valves leaking.  If you have aluminum
tanks that are not cracked, just get new OPD valves installed for about
$20 each.  The aluminum tanks do not wear out.  The LP dealer may re
stamp the tanks to indicate when the next inspection will be required.
There used to be 2 Aluminum tank manufacturers, ..Lennox, and
Worthington.  Now, only Worthington makes them.  They cost a little
more, but they last forever, and polish up , nicely.
