Re: [A/S] OPD Propane Cylinder Conversion
Greg,
I don't think anyone is doing the valve change themselves, the
discussion started over someone having a tank ruined because the valve
had "frozen" to the aluminum cylinder and the threads were destroyed
upon removal. My advice was that if you're worried about it, break the
valve loose yourself so that the "Expert" at the propane place wouldn't
ruin your nice aluminum cylinder. Then, take it to them and let 'em
change the valve and recertify the cylinder. I think the recertification
is no more than a visual inspection (inside and out), then restamp the
date on the collar.
