Dammit bobby!

Went to fill my propane tanks before I head out to SW ND to go antelope hunting, turns out my tanks are expired and no one in town will fill them! They are a 99 model and expired in 2011. Even tho they have the new valves and have been filled twice a year for the last 4 years they now are all the sudden no good. Everywhere I went they were nice and expressed there point that if caught filling them that they could lose there propane license, I told them that is better than me having to go to the warden (the wife) and explain to her that I need to spend $140.00 on new EMPTY tanks. Anyone else running into this problem? With the propane not the wife.

Tanks have to be recertified. Original tank is good for 10 or 12 years and the recertified is good for 5. I think they can only be recertified twice.

I believe there is a grace period on the original expire and the recert date. I think it is a couple of years before they will refuse to refill.

Where do you get them certified though I usually fill my own.

I believe cenex in Bismarck will recertify them for $5.

Menards has new empty 20lbers for $25.00

In bismarck/mandan you can take them to a couple of cenex stations that will recert them.

probably doesn't help you much where you are located though.

Thanks for the info, it's a place for me to start making phone calls in the morning!

When my tanks expire I just go switch them out with the prefilled one at the gas station. Costs a couple dollars more but don't have to get them certified.

I do that with my 20lbers but the ones on my camper are 30. Which is nice to have when camping in the badlands during rifle season!

Yep, thats what I did too. cost about 4 bucks more than filling but got new tanks.

This is the type shiite constantly in my life which keeps my arteries clean. My record BP: 192/102 during an Air Farce physical. It set off an alarm which actually distressed the hell out of me. "Are you in cardiac arrest sir?!!": "I don't effing know, Troop; YOU'RE the freakn' medical professional..."

30 min of nice quiet time in a dark room brought it back to acceptable govt level. This poor black kid's expression was good for a chuckle as I breathed deeply in quiet room nirvana. Poor SOB looked like Buckwheat. Buckwheat was a good dude and deserves the divine pancake reputation.
