	It is thee date that the tank needs retested to meet safety requirements. For Aluminuin CO2 tanks it is normally 5 years.FRetesting a CO2 tank is pretty much pointless because getting the tank rehydroed is about the same price as buying a new tank. for fiber wrapped HPA tanks, the date is either 3 or 5 years depending on the date of manufacture. Also fiber wrapped tanks have a lifespan of 15 years, and after that they are destroyed. For Steel HPA tanks, it is 5 years. Hydro Testing is normally around $20-30 depnding on where you go. The best option is to ask your local fire department where they get their tnaks tested, and send your tank there. Edited by Snake6 - 05 May 2006 at 7:31am
