does anyone know how to read a CO2 tank ? Im wanting to know where the exp. date is, or when it needs to be retested.


Im guessing the its in the part they marked with the white paint, but would that be the date it needs to be retested ?
Im lost, or can ya point me in the right direction.

All of the stuff stamped into the metal is permanent, but what about that sticker on it? What does it say?

Ric

the sticker just says its a non flammable gas, under pressure etc. etc. etc. no dates of any kind.

i dont think there would be an expiration date on the gas.
retest... for concentration maybe???
what is it for?

Ric

sorry, should have been more clear, i know that the tank needs to be retested every so many years, how do I know when this tank needs to be retested ? what do the numbers and letters mean ?

my tank actually has a date engraved on it. I think they need to be re-tested every 5 or 10 years.

Ric let me look at it closer and i could tell you. but it looks like 3 of 00 was when is was made and 3 of 07 when it needs to be re tested.

Whoops scratch that 3 of 06 for re testing and forget the made part.

Ric

cool, thats what i wanted to know.....thankx

dfoxengr

actually date made should be 3/06, so youd need to get it retested in 2011
i think.
just call up a local gas supplier and ask.

Ric

you are correct, just got the tank filled (again) and asked. needs to be retested 3/11 cost is $24
