Supply Tank certification

I fill my own tanks, therefore I do not re-certify them. I do inspect them for surface damage which could lead to a rupture, otherwise, I feel that my few fill cycles will not approach the fatigue limit of the tank. If you have to have them filled at a fill station or dive shop, then you'll have to certify them. The annual inspection consists of draining the tank, removing the valve and inspecting the interior for moisture and/or corrosion. You can do that yourself if you feel so moved. The 5 year inspection consists of inflating the tank to 6000 psi; too much IMO.
