I reckon I must call on 'classicswede' for this one. This question was brushed over in another thread.
I can tell you about CNG cylinder expiry, but where do we stand on LPG tanks?

I pulled two stonking great 60L LPG tanks off recently. I know for a fact they were 18 odd years old - at least. Had they been Type 3 CNG cylinders, despite being £2000-2500 each new, they'd be scrap. These LPG tanks looked solid enough, but I threw them anyway.

I've searched this, I failed to get a proper answer. What is the general rule?
