What's the date on this cylinder?

[Scriv]

Just picked up a 20# aluminum co2 cylinder from Craigslist. I'm unsure about the date, I'm guessing (hoping?) it's 9/2011.

Yep....9/11

not hijacking but .... anyone know an average of what it costs to recertify and how long they last? I was given a full 20# steel with a date of 8-05

The normal DOT certification length for CO2 cylinders is 5 years (but there's a 10 year certification - it adds a star to the cert stamp).

iirc the folks that have quoted hydro test costs were in the $25 neighborhood.

But, if you're willing to swap, there's a good chance the local AirGas refill outlet will take an out-of-date cylinder without nicking you for the hydro test cost...

Cheers!

[edit] Oh yeah - for the OP, I concur that's a 9/11 cert stamp. You're good 'til next year

Great, thanks folks!
