I picked up an empty 30 lbs (26.2 WC) Manchester Y valve recovery cylinder.

It's got a Y-valve with two 1/4" ports, a vertical 1/4" port with a schrader valve and a 1" hole for optional liquid gauge. It's plugged with a giant Robertson type head(recessed square).

It's leaking at the plug :gah: and the tank is way past due for hydro test.

Is it worth getting the leak at plug repaired and having it hydro tested or just toss?

I always exchange mine, no worries on test or leaks.
