• gouging
• denting

Most propane cylinders can be re-certified while you wait as it usually only takes about 15 – 20 minutes. If your cylinder has propane in it, we will have to burn it off before we can re-certify it and this will take a little longer or if you wish you can pick up your cylinder another day.
