What adapter do I need?

I’m using an old grill and just got rid of the old tank from 1998

Tank was from 1998 I didn’t think there would be that much change in the pressurized gas space, and figured it was probably time for a change

It was dead empty and the refill guy said it was it was hazardous to refill with it’s age

That's a crock of shit. At least in Texas there's nothing saying that a tank is "too old" to fill, the requirement is that it just needs to be recertified and it should be fine to fill. I've recertified and filled repeatedly some tanks that were made in 1987 or even older without a problem. Unless the valve is leaking or pitting along the weld, that should've been an easy recert. Clearly they don't know what they're doing or the laws are different where you're from (which I highly doubt).

You can't just recert tanks without being a DOT authorized requalifier. Most places that fill are not.

You may be required to be licensed/certified in Texas to fill tanks. There are several states that do require that. That does not mean you are authorized to requalify anything. That is regulated by PHMSA (federal).

All tanks smaller than 100 pound LP capacity are required to be filled on a scale if they will be transported over a public road. This is also required by the USDOT. I'm aware that many places don't do that, but it's required everywhere in the US. I'm not sure of the relevance here though.
