Subject: Filling propane, expiry date for tank??

|My mother is about to get the tank refilled on her '88 Westy.  Anyone
|know the regulations for filling these tanks?  The regular BBQ tanks,
|expire after 10 years, and there is a date stamped on them.  The local
|garages absolutly refuse to fill them if expired.  They have to be
|re-valved and stamped with a new date.
|
|Just wondering if this is also the case for built-in camper tanks?
|Seems like I remember someone saying that they were different, and could
|be refilled for a longer period.  Any info or Canadian regs would be
|helpful, because I think she's about to have a difficult time with the
|pump jockeys.
