Nitrogen tank disposal

[StygShore]

dont be so damned cryptic

I'd appreciate it if people stop assuming that I'm dumb. I know that the reg has nothing to do with hydro. No kidding. I was simply weighing to cost of a rehydro and new valve along with the consideration that the tank is old enough that it's going to have a pretty limited lifespan even with the valve replacement.

Thanks for the info guys. My question had been more than covered and I have a few options to consider.

Not assuming you are dumb, just fully explaining your options. Now if you were forthcoming in telling us what you just said above we could have said, "nope, no problem, throw it in the trash" and be done with this thread. Chances are you could sell the out of hydro tank for 10-20 bucks though.

If you're going to throw it away anyway, why not give it to one of the tinkerphiles who've already posted?

Same outcome for you, in that you're rid of it, but you'll have made someone else's day a little brighter. No loss possibe to you, and a net karmic gain for everyone.

Not all, 3HT steel tanks have a 24 year service life.

You really shouldn't be using a 3HT certified tank for paintball. They were approved by the DOT for aviation use only.
Somewhere out there, and I'm sure someone knows where, there is a document that specifically states the "3HT tanks are not to be used for paintball applications"...

I don't have the specific regulation in front of me....there is a sign next to the hydro tank at work that says something to the effect of the above...with a picture, and a bunch of DOT reg numbers. Just thought I would share.

I am thinking pyrodex with cannon fuse madness... that is like totally dishwasher over apple tree material there!

PLEASE let us Blow it up! I also am thinking 100 meter RCO scoped m16 shot with full fill...
