Legality seems to come up in a lot of topics discussed on here, and I’m curious who’s out policing the illegal transportation of propane cylinders?!?Also it is illegal to transport the containers after they have been filled.

I may be wrong, but if I get pulled over for speeding, I doubt the cop is going add an extra charge for me having an illegally filled propane cylinder in the back seat of my truck.
That’s my point.How does one tell if it has been refilled? LOL! Sniff test it?
About a $500 fine if you get caught transporting them.@Firpo keep in mind, that any cylinder that’s filled/refilled should not have more than 80% its stated volume on board. Meaning, you’ll likely never get 20 lbs in a 20 lb cylinder. It’ll only legally be filled to 16 lbs. not a big deal, but will change your calculations some.
Also, cylinders not designed to refill are no longer DOT approved once refilled. For whatever that’s worth.
With all the blatant illegal crap people do and get away with, this sure seems pretty trivial, so who’s tasked with rounding up all these outlaws?!?About a $500 fine if you get caught transporting them.
