    Chrisvacman's advice is your best bet. I'm sure if theres a commercial gas supplier near by they probably also offer tank exchanges and hydro testing for personal tanks.

    The tanks for the other gases have to be hydro tested buddy, for instance airgas or mat tri gas, those guys have to test their bottles all the time just ask them who they use. Since they deal in bulk cylinders chances are the facility is close.

    Fill it and turn in at a supply house that does tank exchanges.
    Do you have a C.C. Dickson or Carrier SE nearby ?

    recovery cylinders

    Just wondering what most people do with an out of date recovery bottle.I am in SC and I would like to know if there is someplace that will re-certify bottles.Right now a 50# bottle is around $130.00. and it seems that you could have them tested a lot cheaper.
