I imagine there's some confusion here. If I had to guess (no offense to the OP), I'd think the shop said something like we "need to have it hydroed to check out the bow." I recall seeing something (online) about tanks bowing out being a sign of them beginning to fail. There was something about an acceptable limit, not sure if that was visibly noticeable or not.

Just because it was filled a few weeks ago doesn't mean anything, the problem could have developed since then or just not been noticed. Either way I wouldn't want to be in the same building as a filled o2 bottle that is bowing out.
