Default LP Tanks

DOT cylinders up through 420 lb can be placed adjacent to a structure but
a 125 gal or less ASME tank has to be 10 ft from a structure according to
NFPA 58. Other than the 12 year inspection interval is there any reason
to use ASME tanks instead of DOT cylinders when space is limited?

The 12 year interval is the reason. Every 12 years you will have to
purchase a new tank. The old tank may be difficult to get rid of. You may
be required to cut it in half to scrap it.
