Listees,

Here is some info from

http://www.lpg.com/non-flash/safety/lpgas-safety.html#requalification

Cylinder Requalification
Department of Transportation regulations require that
all DOT or ICC cylinders be inspected and requalified
within 12 years of the date of manufacture and on a
regular basis thereafter � every 5 years if it's
inspected visually, for example. This inspection is
typically done by a qualified technician when your
cylinder is refilled. For information about cylinder
inspection and requalification, mail propane@lpg.com
or consult your propane gas dealer.

Your cylinder should also bear a decal like the one to
the right, which identifies the contents as a
flammable gas by name and international I.D. number
(UN 1075). Other cylinder warning labels available
from your propane gas dealer are useful for future
reference. Ask to have them applied the next time you
take your cylinder in for refilling.

**While the probability for getting caught is very
low, the safety factor is the key issue.  As Ron
Salmon stated in an earlier post on this subject, not
knowing what was going on with his tank could have
been disasterous.
