I just went to the propane dealer to have a tank filled. It turns out that
the age of the tank does NOT matter if the tank is privately owned. The OPD
valve is required, but the inspection thing I was talking about has been
changed (rescinded). He still recommended going to Sam's Club or Walmart to
get a tank. A new OPD valve is $22. A new tank is about $28 at Sam's Club.
So, for $6 you get a new tank. Sounds good to me.
