I've been offered a 20# CO2 tank for $15.
The bad news is that it has been expired since 1996. I've found a company (Praxair) that will refill it for $22, but when I asked about them refilling my expired tank the guy danced around my question and never anwsered it.
He said that they would exchange my tank but there would be a hydrostatic charge fee of $18 for my old tank. Which I'm fine with, but when I asked him what would happen if my old tank failed the hydrostatic charge test he couldn't really anwser my question. (Ie. Would my only option at the point be to buy a new tank?)
So has anyone had any experience with exchanging an expired tank for another tank?
Do they perform the hydrostatic test while I stand there or a week later?
Any info is helpful! And thanks in advance!
