The other issue they may have is that the 1986 tank is 6351 alloy which is "THE BAD" alloy and a lot of places won't fill or test it (only recently have I heard that some places will not test) If the shop does their own hydro's, they are DOT Hydro cert and that means they can make that judgement call. I will admit I've not heard of a hydro straightening out a bow though.

Still, as a test center for even a VIP, they should know the standards and may have felt the tank was out of those standards. Not keen about them pulling the valve though.
