Subject:LP Regulator Life Expectancy?-be careful!

This where my tank rusted and the only visible damage appeared to be
this tag coming off. When the attendant attempted to refill the tank if
exploded (thankfully just released all 2.0 ga. with no spark). I was
lucky that some of the flying metal didn't hit him but we both were
pretty shook up over what looked fairly benign. I would replace the
tank with a good used one or a new one from one of the listvendors.

Once the tank is prepped and painted.
