out of date bottle
- Thread starter RobbyT
- Start date
It'll be safe to use for use at home setting things up but won't be allowed to use on site until tested, with testing costing £25/30 plus postage if you need to send it off, might be cheaper to buy a new tank in the end
ok mate cheers.. i will probs use it till its empty and then get rid.... how do i get rid of it??
Take the reg off, and put the tank in recycling or bin.
Sell the reg for a few quid or just chuck it out

Remember to take care removing the regulator
First to protect yourself from any air still inside
(Threads are tapered on air cylinder regulators so that if there is pressure and you manage to unscrew then it is gradually released while the regulator is firmly attached)
Second to not damage threads
Also look around for anyone interested in old cylinders. Make sure they are not going to atteot to use it
There are certain circumstances when people want a dummy cylinder, e.g. For promoting a university society they can use drilled out cylinders with 'dummy' marked on the side
