I have two of them. One on the grill, the other is in my storage building, ready to be swapped into use as needed. I have had them end up out of date, by the time they are empty. The propane place I go to get them refilled does not bother refilling the small tanks for each customer on a single tank, they just swap out to a replacement tank. I told the guy mine was expired, he said they don't care, they all get tested, and cleaned up, painted if needed, and refilled and ready to go out. Even when the valve design changed a few years back, they did not care.

The labor time to send an employee over to the filling tank is not worth it to them. They had a stack of several hundred tanks coming in and several hundred ready to go. They had some private labeled, like Blue Rhino, and other company brands on the truck ready to be delivered.
