Does anyone know of a place in northern New Jersey, southern New York

Try dive shops, but they may not have the ability to test to the
(3,000psi spec) pressure needed for this cylinder. Also ask your local
fire department where they test their SCBA cylinders. Many of these
will use similar cylinders.

Scuba tanks are usually filled to 3,000 psi and rated to 4,000 psi, so
they will know how it's done.
