Greetings…
I took both of my custom aluminum tanks to suburban propane…they directed me to a propane equipment dealer for the correct overflow protection valves…I purchased 2 …and Suburban installed them , certified the tanks, and filled them…
very helpful yardman at Suburban…you might call a local propane company, and they might be able to assist you if you need new valves and certification…
I am in Tampa…
