TANK OUT OF DATE?
WE’LL SORT IT.
The Propane Shack recertifies and repairs every portable propane tank — from 20 lb grill bottles to RV, forklift, 100 lb and 420 lb cylinders — so you can get safely back in service instead of buying new.
IF IT’S PORTABLE,
WE SERVICE IT.
We inspect, requalify and repair the full range of DOT portable propane cylinders — the little grill bottle in your garage and the big cylinders that keep your equipment running. Not sure what you’ve got? Bring it in and we’ll tell you.
20–40 lb BBQ and camper cylinders.
Liquid-service forklift cylinders.
Tall cylinders for heaters & the home.
The large portable tanks (≈120 gal).
WHY YOUR TANK
EXPIRES.
Under U.S. DOT rules a portable propane cylinder must be requalified about 10 years from its date of manufacture, and periodically after that. Once that date passes, a filler can’t legally top it up until it’s been requalified. That’s not red tape — a tank that’s been out in the weather for a decade is exactly the one worth a second look.
Bring yours in and we’ll requalify it on the spot where it’s safe to do so — or tell you straight when a tank has reached the end of its life.
- ✓ Manufacture & last-requalification date
- ✓ Rust, pitting and external corrosion
- ✓ Dents, gouges and fire or heat damage
- ✓ Valve, OPD and pressure-relief condition
- ✓ Foot ring, collar and overall integrity
FIX IT, DON’T
REPLACE IT.
A worn valve or a wobbly foot ring doesn’t mean a new tank. Where a cylinder is sound, we repair the parts that wear out and get it back in service — and where it isn’t, we’ll say so rather than fill something we wouldn’t use ourselves.
OPD & Service Valves
Replacement of overfill-prevention and service valves.
Forklift Valves
Liquid-service valves and dip tubes for forklift cylinders.
O-Rings & Fittings
Gaskets, POL/ACME fittings and connections.
Foot Rings & Collars
Bases, collars and handles re-secured or replaced.
Leak Testing
Every repaired tank is checked before it leaves.
Honest Retirement
Unsafe tanks are condemned, not filled — with a recommendation.
