Long story short, I bought two 20lb CO2 tanks for $50 yesterday from a guy that bought an old restaurant and the previous owner left them in there. He was gutting the building and had no use for them. I was really uneducated about the tanks at the time, but did a lot of reading last night and this is what I have found. Both tanks need to be re-certified. One is an very old steel tank (shows certified dates as early as 1980 that I can see) and the other is aluminum (last certified in 2004 from what I can see). One was stamped CCE, which I now know is Coca-Cola Enterprises, the other has part of a pepsi sticker left on it, what hasn't finished falling off yet. I also now know that I've most likely wasted $50, as from what I gather, I likely will not be able to get them swapped out or get them re-certified & filled. Anyone else experienced anything like this? If so, what did were your options?
