If it is a portable tank, most propane dealers can do it. Cost around $25.

I thought the 100# ones were exempt.  We have two from work that are from the '60s that have never been recertified to my knowledge.  The other day at the propane dealer, the guy helping me said he had one from 1946.

No, but larger tanks may be exempt from OPD valve requirements.
