I went to have the propane tanks filled. I was informed that one of the two tanks needed inspection and they could not fill it. I said, "but it is an aluminium tank, they don't need to be inspected." I was told that in Florida they do need to be inspected. So my crew Mike got on the phone and found a place that would inspect the tank and then fill it. We drove over. The inspector came out, checked the tank to make sure there was propane in it, then proceeded to spray the tank with a water bottle full of soapy water. After a couple of minutes he wiped off the tank, affixed a sticker, filled it and said "you are good to go." Quality.
Fair winds and following seas :)
