hey guys i recently aquired 2 aluminum luxfer tanks, the the last hydro done on them was in 2006 but the tank was made in 1998, is this tank still good? i really want to keep them, they are both currently filled with air 2800psi. really need to know if they are worth hydroing dont want to spend $100 and find out they are only going to be good for a year

Hell my current alu 80 was born in 84. I laugh knowing my tank is actually older than me :D

I have an '87 S80 Luxfer tank (I know, living on the wild side). If it still checks out, you should be just fine.
