Tank hydro question?

[Babylon 5]

I've had my HPA tank for awhile now and since it is my first one I was wondering when it needs to be hydroed? Heres the info on the tank DOT-E11005 and 10-05 (the born on date)

[olinar]

it should say on the tank retest every 3 years or 5 years. either way your tank is still good.

I think it is supposed to be 5 years after its born and every 3 after that...but I could be wrong.

You have a 3-year bottle. A DOT-E11005 bottle does not have the 5-year exemption. You will need to have it tested in 10/08.

Here's a link to Hydrotesters that deciphers the "E" code. Not all tanks are 5yr hydros.
