I have Eastern for Propane at home, and also at our Masonic Lodge.

In the past couple of years, Eastern has replaced both tanks because they were coming up on the end of their "10 year life".

In both cases, they notified us that they would be making the change out in concert with a scheduled delivery. They arrived and checked the level on the tanks, off loaded some propane to facilitate handling the tanks, and then did the replacement.

All went smoothly, including the credits, and they inspected the system before turning on the gas once again.

So, with an inground, how often does the tank have to be replaced? (if it has been covered earlier, sorry for missing it.)
