Gardner:
Before I cleaned my tank up, I asked BB about time limits for propane tanks.
No one knew the answer. I check my lines periodically for leaks using bubble
soap. I have not had a refill station question or inspect my tank before
filling. It looks new and is relabeled. Soooo, I do not know the answer.

Leroy,
Thanks.
If I purchase the coach I am looking at this time, that will be
one of the things I will put in the 'must do' list. Do the fill
stations actually check the tanks when they fill an RV? I would
think it would be a legal requirement.

Someone may. I cleaned minor surface rust from my tank, used ospho
to treat it and repainted it with high quality engine paint. I
haven't had any refill problems, and do not have rust.
