Cylinders tested or retested prior to July 1, 2001 require testing 3 years from date. If it has been retested after july1, 2001 then it must be retested every 5 years. I am pretty sure that this is correct. I have an older centerflag tank that was dated 99 and tested in 02 and now has 5 years till next hydro

I cant see the date on the tank in the picture

[master_alexander]

Yes it needs to be retested every 3 years so yes you need to get it retested before you use it.
