Then you are ripping off your customers according to those articles by PSI.
Go give your ego a rest Mr Flip Flop.
You came on strong at first but now you just sound rude and condescending.

This forum is intended to be a very friendly, "flame free zone" where divers of any skill level may ask questions about basic scuba topics without fear of being accosted. Please show respect and courtesy at all times. Remember that the inquirer is looking for answers that they can understand. This is a learning zone and consequently, any off-topic or overly harsh responses will be removed.
This topic has been covered painfully and endlessly in the Tanks, Valves and Bands - Page 3 - ScubaBoard The 6351's and others are politely covered here http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/tanks-valves-bands/296979-scuba-bomb.html so I'm really not sure the point of the personal attack and nasty attitude nature of these posts, I read through it all, just to see what sort of professional information might be here. Why don't you let this thread die a lonely death instead of slowly torturing everyone else, and the thread to death.

If you want inexpensive tanks, you can find good deals almost daily on the used equipment for sale threads Classifieds: Tanks, Valves and Bands - ScubaBoard
It is easy to see why anyone would want to save a few bucks on tanks, and I would buy a used one, as long as it is not on the restricted list (which my Local Dive Shop) Checks every tank against, before every fill. You could also check your local Craigslist or google: craigslist aluminum 80 scuba which will result in a long list of good deals.

Thank you for the excellent link tlt, I was not aware of it. It would have saved me a lot of aggravation defending what I felt was a reasonable and well documented POV. I would also agree that anyone interested in the subject should look there as well.
My appologies to anyone tortured by the making of this thread

One last week in Australia, blew the FSO's hand off. Australia has no legal eddy testing requirement like US DOT's 5 yrs interval, Australia requires an annual hydro instead (which actually creates as many problems as it solves).
So to answer your underlying question: yes 6351 cylinders are still exploding and hurting people.

Rjack, I'm not being arguementative but if they don't do eddy testing and rely on hydros I don't think it answers my question. I would be interested in the details though. I originally wondered if eddy testing resolves the issue. I'm gone diving for a few days. If you want to continue a discussion of your post I'd be more than glad to do so in the thread tlt suggested. I'll check in once and a while to see if it progresses.
Best regards,
Dale.

Hey, as long as my LDS will fill'em for me and they're OK with the Hydro and vis (they sent it out for hydro and did the vis themselves) I'm cool with that.
I'll probably replace them one at a time but until I buy all new ones, I'll keep using these.
