Subject:Propane tanks - USA

I was in the welding store today and there's a notice on the counter
that starting (now? soon?) all new propane tanks btw 4 and 40 lb
capacity must be fitted with float-type automatic shutoffs -- *And
starting in 2002 any tank not so fitted may not be refilled!!*  Our
Westy tanks hold 10 lb.  I asked the counter man whether this referred
to ASME tanks (our kind) as well as DOT tanks (BBQ kind) and he said
yes.

Errrrkkkkk!

Anyone else with info on this?
