I know that CO2 tanks need to be hydro tested every 5 years, but I ordered a kit that included a brand new tank (this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K0FAF0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20), and sort of assumed it would be easy to get filled. In looking over the tank, however, I don't see anything that looks like a hydro test, so I guess they don't test them before shipping..
How can I get it filled? I know nobody will fill it without first checking the test date, but I have read that most exchange places won't even check the date, they'll just give you a new one. What should I do? I'm not sure where to get it tested or how much it would cost, nor am I sure where I could get it filled around here (just found lots of exchange places, all at 20 bucks). Should I just go for it with one of them? Hope they don't notice? Get it tested and filled??
Thanks
