On the 6351, I still have a tank that's circa 1982 and it's current on hydro, vip and eddy. I still get it filled the two places I dive the most so it's good enough for me. It gets vip'd about every 10 vs. 2 month just the be sure. I don't worry about filling it because I know it's history. I fill it just before the dive and at the most, when it sits, it's only had 500-800 psi in it for it's entire life-not much of a sustained load if you ask me. It's been well kept and not abused. I'm not worried about it with my tank-the LDS knows the tank history too and are good with it as well.

Yes, one of these days, I will say it's done-probably sooner than later because I have a new 80 to replace it.

I still wonder though...What was up with the hydro will take out the bow??? Has anyone heard of that before?
