Is It Time To Replace/Recertify Your Propane Tank?

In Colorado, like in most of the US, propane tank recertification follows federal regulations set by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Here's a breakdown:

Initial Certification: New propane tanks are typically good for 12 years from the date of manufacture. This date is stamped on the tank's collar.

Recertification Intervals: After the initial 12 years, propane tanks need to be recertified every 5 or 10 years, depending on the recertification method used.

How to determine your tank's recertification date:

If your propane tank reaches its expiration date, gets rusty, or if the tank is dented, you may want to consider getting it replaced. This concerns the safety of not only yourself, but also your propane provider.

REPLACE | You can replace any 20lb propane tank at places like 7/11, Walmart, King Soopers, etc.

Keep in mind propane exchanges only fill your tank to 15lbs | These Tanks Are Meant To Hold 20lbs

RECERTIFY | You can visit Arapahoe Rental Loveland to recertify your propane tanks. We recommend this option if you have a tank 30lbs or larger.
