| I just got a nitrogen tank off my friend (fiber rapped), but it needs to be checked or something because the date on it is over 3 years or something. Does anyone know how much this costs? Its a 68/3000 tank. |

where do i get it checked out at, and often does it need to be checked out? do they change the date on the fiber every time? thanks a lot |

A fire station or a welding place should be able to do it. If it's fiber wrapped I believe it's every 3 years but I mite be wrong, they'll tell you when you go. -------------

| ah i see.. so i can just walk up in my fire station.... hmm... how do fields know when its been checked since i dont think they can "un-wrap" the tank to change the date.. maybe a tag or something around the neck of it? |

Don't plan on having it done at the fire house!!
Hydro testing is usually around $35 non-refundable. And its almost always sent out for testing. If it fails, they cut the tank in half.  -------------
