They make it pretty easy as it will be stamped on the outside collar of the tank. It will say “DOT-” more

Another way to requalify a tank is to do what called “Proof Pressure” where the tank is tested with air at twice the marked service pressure. If this test is completed it will need to be retested 7 years after this date. here
This tank would need to be requalified on 4/2020 here
If you have a DOT propane tank it will need to be re-qualified after 12 years of manufacture date. Sounds good. How do I know if I have a DOT tank and why is it called DOT?
If you are cooking outdoors and deal with very cold temperatures, high winds, or a lot of humidity, a high-pressure burner is the way to go. This is because they provide a lot more propane for the burner and they work in a very simple way. [links]
Camp stoves are a common high-pressure burner. They do not control gas intake or carbon monoxide emissions in the precise way that a low-pressure or indoor-rated burner would and can be extremely dangerous for the health and wellbeing of anyone in the room. more
This might not seem like a big deal, but if you cook with natural gas on a regular basis or don’t have access to that natural gas pipeline, this can be a cost worth worrying about. [links]
In areas that don’t have access to natural gas lines or a natural gas pipeline network (or just prefer gas), a low-pressure propane burner would be a great option. It provides the gas that you need without having to worry about excessive emissions. more
Another thing to consider is that high-pressure burners have to be used outdoors. They are not safe for use in contained spaces, limiting where they can be used. You absolutely should not run an outdoor burner indoors because it can be incredibly dangerous to the health and wellbeing of anyone inside.
Outdoor gas appliances such as high heat cast iron burners require the use of a high pressure regulator because they need more volumes of gas than a low pressure regulator can deliver. High pressure regulators regulate the output pressure from 1 psi to as high as 60 psi.
One may also ask, what is a high pressure propane regulator? High Pressure Propane Regulators. High pressure LP Gas regulators, like all propane regulators stand between higher pressure on the inlet side and appliances or equipment requiring a lower pressure on the outlet side.
Is a 20 lb propane tank high or low pressure?
A standard BBQ tank is 20 pound if a trade in it is usually filled to about 15 pounds. I can run my 55k btu burner for about 5-8 brew sessions. It all depends on how long the heat sources are drawing off the tank for how long the tank will last.
I'm looking to hookup a 55k BTU and 118k tankless water heater to the same tank, two different regulators and run them at the same time. Was wondering if the tank would be able to supply enough fuel to both devices.
edit: i looked at the specs on bayou classic burners and it looks like they run on 10-30psi so will need a secondary reg (which would be the low pressure I linked above). your primary reg will need to be appropriate for your main burner. if you can specify which burner it is, we can help find an appropriate regulator setup for your system
