Nitro Tanks Need to be Hydrostaticly Tested every 3 years i believe...Some new ones are 5 years...This just means they they do some expensive tests to make sure the tank is totally safe to fill. SO if a tank aint Hydroed, than you can get it filled ANYWHERE, so then you gotta go thru the hassle of getting it tested, so in the end you will end up spending more than the tank would have costed you if you had bought it brand new!

So I say always buy the tank brand new from a store so you have someone to stand by it, EVEN IF IT COSTS A LITTLE MORE! The proshops are great, cause there is lots that can go wrong! Hey, they may cost alittle more, but they gotta stay in business!
