Has anyone ubgraded their Propane cylinder and added the overfill protection device? Who would be the best people to contact concerning this required device?

Steve, we got into a slugfest a short time ago
about this subject. Only the small tanks must have them, and of those, the horizontal tanks are exempt.

Bet You'll have Difficulty Getting Filled without
So on my Hunter boat with my Hunter budget here's what I did: I took my old obsolete tank from my home grill and swapped it for a full one at Walmart. I used it to shrink wrap my boat. Before turning it in for another full one I removed the valve and put an old style valve on it. Then I put the new valve with overpressure release on my Hunter tank. Life is good and I didn't break the bank.

Overflow Protection Device
Had my small tank (#10?) modified to the new valve this past spring. Found out about it when they wouldn't refill it. Had it done at a propane supply house. $25 including a refill.
