I would disagree, most propane tanks rush at some point due the
constant condensation and you repaint. I've got a one year old tank
from Manchester that's already show sighs of rust at the seams.

I know my local LP guy might turn away a poorly painted tank if it
doesn't look safe but I think the judgement is left to the shop.

Subject: used propane tank for sale

Hi all -

I have a used refurbed propane tank for sale on eBay.  I bought a new
one,
but didn't want the old one to go to the dump, so it's for sale.  I
sanded
it and repainted it - put on a new intake valve and a new regulator.
I was
planning on reusing it, but the wife said she rather pay the money for
a new
one rather than guess whether my refurbed one would work.  So it's for
sale
- I haven't leak tested it - and the local propane tank shop wouldn't go
near it.  So I'm not trying to make money, but just trying to find
someone
who knows these tanks and feels comfortable working with a used one.  If
you're interested, it should show up in eBay with a "vanagon and
propane"
search.
