Go to www.hydrotesters.com they describe the process. Basically it is just overfilling the tank, and seeing how strong it is. They also have a date decoder or something like that, its under how do i read the date on my cylinder.

I think you need to hydro May of 2004. It should be every 3 years, is this a new tank?

After you get it hydroed the first time, it will be way more clear. The new sticker they epoxy to the tank is very easy to read.

Alumnum is either 4 or 5 year hydro, i forget which. You have a while to go before you need to do it though.
