1. There should be a manufacturer's engraved ID plate on the tank showing place and time of mfgr. and material used.....like on mine, 5% Nickel required in the steel. That makes what you see for rust, just superficial and not a safety problem. My tank, built in 1950 in Dallas has such a plate and hasn't rusted out....what you see is just superficial.
2. The propane company can pump out your contents, measuring in the process...backfeeding their truck mounted meter, and give your credit for it.

Yes the old ones are outdated, juat like they are on the smaller jugs. No big deal to change out the valves.
While you are at it, change out your pressure relief valve also. I had to do that years ago but it was the original so big deal. -------------
I would tell them that I want to keep my old tank and you pump out the contents, crediting me for it, replace the valve with the currently recommended/required valve, refill my tank and be on your way.
