Try the local scuba shop or compressed gas provider in your area. Hope this helps..

most scuba shops dont do em anymore, now I think cobra paintball does em.

If you don't have a scuba shop.. ask your local firestation where they get their personal Breathing systems hydro'd. Firemen sometimes wear compressed airtank to breathe on. They'll be able to direct you via address or phone number of their hydro facility.

That's funny lillgod, almost all scuba shops around here do hydro testing. I know I used to perform hydro tests at one of them.

Some new Fibre tanks are 5-years. They will say on the tank. This rating is US only, in Canada, they still must be hydro'd every 3 years.
