Here is what I did last week, following the infos
from an A.I. (USA)
I when to a Diving shop (which sells all the stuff
for people who love to
dress in latex and breathe underwater) they took my
(steel) tank for
hydro testing, it will (hopefully) come back with the
new numbers
stamped on the metal. It has to be done every five
years.
Take a long breath

Better hope your experience is better than mine.

Wait for the - we can't test this 30 year old vessel until you provide us with
the original specifications (from the manufacturer)
Then we will hydro test it but we won't fill it because it has the wrong valve
(OK with a dive shop I later discover they should have the right fitting)
Then they won't sell you the fitting bec ause it is not certified for aircraft
use....

Then you eventually go to one of the service guys and buy the parts you need
direct from him and fill your newly certified cylinder that way.

Hopefully the dive guys will just do it.
