20lb Propane tanks with 15-18lbs and OPD

Hey all, I used to have 20lb propane tanks that I got refilled with 20lbs. Then they expired, and I could not find a convenient re-certification place, so I exchanged them for Blue Rhino tanks with 15lbs in them. I took the Blue Rhino tanks to the refill place, and they could NOT get any more propane in, suggesting that they were not just "under-filled", but the OPD was actually set to 15lb. For long trips, I want 20lbs in my tanks, so here are my questions, hopefully in order of simplicity:


1.) Does any major chain exchange tanks with 20lb in them?
2.) Is there a way to identify what "poundage" an OPD is set at by looking at markings on the outside?
3.) Do the new tanks you buy at Lowes or wherever have the OPD setting identified?
4.) Can the OPD be modified or replaced for another one that goes to 20lb?




Thanks!
Frank
