Certainly appears that way. These tanks can’t possibly be worth the aggravation at this point.He doesn't appear to want to know why it failed viz. He just wants to fill it anyway.
It is indeed odd. He has the tanks back from the original shop. Presumably, he’s had an opportunity to take them to another shop for a second opinion on the Vis. It appears that either that didn’t happen, or the second opinion confirmed the first.Why does this all seem so odd?
As stated, the contents of the tank are not the issue, it’s the act of filling to pressure that will be the issue. If the tanks have a current hydro stamp, they could technically be filled, but a Scuba shop most likely won’t. Getting a scuba tank filled with a non-breathable gas at an industrial place is also highly unlikely. Industrial cylinders have different valves to prevent misuse. So unless he has his own compressor, these tanks will most likely not be getting filled.
They don’t appear to be worth the aggravation at this point. Sign by the side of the road, recycler, or converting them to wind chimes, mailboxes, etc. would be my suggestions.
