Took the tank I bought as part of a group buy from The Source back in 10.05 down to Seal's Gas for a refill at lunch today and the tank expired! It was mfg in 6.05.

$18 for a hydro test to recertify it for another 5 years! :rolleyes:

It's for your own safety. I have never heard of a tank exploding but I'm sure you would pay double to be sure it never happens to you. Also $18.00 seems fair, I remember paying $35.00 but it included air on my SCUBA tank.

I know it's for my own safety and the safety of the guys filling them. Just a PITA to have to go down there again. Their pick up service to the place they use for hydro testing had just been there earlier in the morning. Once a week pick up on Friday mornings. At least I didn't wait until the last minute before a trip! It'll be back on the 15th. They wouldn't tell me where I could take it myself for the test.
 
When I get my tank filled, it is swapped for a filled tank that always has current hydro. Maybe you should try a different gas supplier.

I own the tank I purchased from The Source, otherwise I would.
 
I am working getting a warn onboard air system. My 15lb tank is empty after two refills from 13psi to 35psi. :censor:

Your tires are monsters tho arent' they? :doh:

I usually get 4-5 refills IIRC on my 285's out of my 10lb tank. Trip coming up early May and I've been finishing off trailer and truck prep and I knew my tank was getting low after the last trip out to Mojave. Last tire was a little slow if you know what I mean.
