About 7 or 8 years ago, the company I worked for did the demo work to clean up an old grocery store in a strip mall and prepare the space to be rented again. The owner told us to throw everything away - he didn't want any of it. Among the hanging wires, ceiling panels, and ruined fixtures were two CO2 cylinders. They were sitting next to the remains of the old soda fountain. Rather than toss them in the dumpster, I kept them (I had the owner's permission to do so). They have sat in the corner of my brewing area in two different homes since then. They are 27" tall with the protective cap around the valve, and approximately 8" wide.
I am looking at a kegging system and want to make sure I am not missing anything. All of my searches say these two cylinders can be used until empty and then they will need pressure tested before they can be refilled.
Is there anything I need to do / be aware of that I have missed in my searches?
Here are pictures and the stamping on each cylinder:
The first is an unpainted aluminum tank.
Its markings are:
CTC/DOT-3AL 1800 U1202232(I or l)UXFER12A91-20(UnknownMarking?)C02 TW24.1
Original Stamp: 3 A9/73 99
Original Stamp: CCE COKE
On the "Do Not Remove" tag: 9075, 9091, 9192, 0007
Pictures:
The second is painted red.
Its markings are:
DOT-3AL 1800 BB90063 CATALINA CLIFFDIV 03 Cl 99 20 C02 TC-3ALM124
Stamped: CCECINCI
On the "Do Not Remove" tag: 9149, 9194, 0089, & 0216
Pictures:
TL/DR:
Is there any thing I need to be aware of with these tanks before I use them?
Thank You,
Cody
