what kind of tank is it. a welding shop may inspect it? I believe it's a scuba tank. Find a local scuba shop and they should be able to send it for hydro testing.

Scott is a brand we use in my fire dept. I would assume that a firehouse could tell you who can inspect it. We have someone come in to do all of that for us. Good luck sounds like it would be a cool idea if it works.

Just as a point of reference, I got my 20lb c02 tank from my local welding shop for $125 ($20 a fill after that), then all I needed was a regulator.
You can go to walmart and get their coiled hose kit for 20$. (it comes with the quick disconnect air fittings).
Not sure what you paid for the tank you got, but if it turns out to be a totaly b**** to get it inspected and filled, I would check out a welding shop. They also sell regulators if you want to buy local.

If the inspection is cheap and its easy to get it filled thats a killer deal though!!

justin is $20 a lot for a fill? no thats about avg. Yeah Bob, the reason i posted that is because those are HI-Flow regulators. IMHO the whole point of having a CO2 tank over an on board air setup, is the decrease in time it takes to fill a tire. If you get a regular CO2 regulator from a welding shop or beer tap company, your not going to get that speed.
