Well after four solid years of service the reg on my Nitro Duck. I contacted Nitro Duck and they said to send it to them and they'll fix it. My dillema though is should i send it to get fixed and risk a $100 bill or sell the tank for what its worth and get another 68cu(this ones 90 and a little too big. The tank is 10915 so and I got it re-hydroed last year to qualify it as a 5-year tank so it's good till 2008. So, is it worth the fix or sell and get a new tank.

I guess it would depend if you want to spend about $200 for another tank versus risking $100 to have it fixed.... If in your place, I would sell the it and get something new. Didn't someone here recently bought a bad tank off Ebay? The tank had a small slash on the surface but, I would bet his regulator still works. I'm sure there are also people out there who have tanks that didn't pass hydro but can also salvage the regulator from them.

What else are you gonna get for 100 bucks? You said you it always worked great right? I'd hang on to that one and get it fixed.

If the reg is bad and you don't like the tank size, get a new setup.
