: Whats all thistricycle with the nitrogen/hpa tanks and their hydro dates and going to get the tanks hydroed??? : thanks * All tanks that have a DOT # on the shoulder of the tank (steel or Aluminum) and all wrapped tanks either fiberglas or carbon have a DOT # on the label of the tank The number looks something like this: DOT 3AL 3000 - s/n X0000 or DOT E-xxxx 3000 - X0000 usually followed by the Hydro date which looks like: 12(X0)99 This marking means December 1999 00 Fibre wrapped tanks (usually 3000 psi) require a 3 year hydro from the date of manufacture on the label. As an example from above marking. This tank would be due now and would be retested to look like: 12(X0)02 00 Carbon wrapped tanks dated after 07/01 would be a 5 year hydro test. All wrapped tanks expire 15 years after date of manufacture. Aluminum or steel tanks are 5 year hydro and can be tested every 5 years until they fail. No expiration date. Hope that helps, Hydro2go
