Thanks to all for your answers
We have been keeping ours for 20 years and I guess that must remain.  We
are licensed in many states and of course inspected by all these states as
well.
We are located in Ct., but as Vinnie stated NY recommends 20 years and we
do get inspected every two years by NY.  I wish we can convince them to go
by CAP's recommendations, it would save on my storage warehouses!!
It seems all the other states stick with CAP's recommendations.
Thanks again.
