I just picked up three 20lb tanks from someone on Craigslist who was selling a bunch of concessions equipment. I paid $40 for three tanks and a regulator (which I probably won't use). None of them have a current certification. The blue one has a 1999 stamp, the aluminum one has a 2000 stamp, and the last stamp I can see on the really crappy looking one on the right is 1994.
It has a sticker on it though, and I was wondering if that might be a '99 test?
Here's my main question: the crappy looking one on the right actually has Co2 in it. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I can take them in for an exchange or for a cert. Should I be concerned about the safety of that tank, especially if it hasn't been checked since 94? Should I release the gas?
Also, are the steel ones too rusty to exchange or recert?
