        Depends on where in VA you are. In Northern VA there is a place right across the river in MD.



        I plan on taking my expired tank there next time I'm in Frederick. They can probably do it while you wait.

                You can do the ol' Garage Hydro test. Just get a clean tab of paper, type "10-06" and clear epoxy it to the tank.

                  Actually, each individual place that is certified for hydro testing has their own code--which is required to be on the "tab of paper" that is epoxied to the tank. The field owner has every right to not fill a tank that is labeled improperly.

                  Just so you know.

                    I don't work for them--I send my tanks to them. I doubt that they repair anything.
                    Email them or call with your specific questions, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

                          I sensed as much; however, HPA is not something to jerk around with--come on--you guys know this!!

                            I've never seen a paintball cylinder done like this. But I've seen plenty of home welders give thier 2.2 ksi tanks the ol' garage hydro. Not as big a deal IMO since your not running around and diving with the tank and it's also only 2200psi.

                            Hey... just a suggestion I wouldn't endorse it though.
