Very good article, though it contradicts some of the information I was taught about the method used in hydro test. Now I am going to have to call someone still in the business. |

I can't figure out if my tank is to be hydroed 3 years or 5 years after production date. It's an Evil Scion 68/5000 and the tank says that it was hydroed 08/05 so does this mean I need to get it tested August 2008 or 2010? It also says DOT-E 10915

That means it is good for 5 years. According to the little chart beside our compressor anyways.

In my opinion, hydrotesting Co2 tanks are worthless. It cost $35 to test the tank, yet the tank itself cost $20 (for 20oz).

WOW. Yeah I'd pitch them too if it cost that much here. CO2's cost $12 to test and Paintball sized HPA (114 and below) cost $18 here. SCBA and SCUBA's cost $26 Extinguishers vary by size. |
