Hi everyone...please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
I work with a lady who says she has two diving tanks that a friend gave her like 5 years ago. She doesn't dive and was going to sell them. I have no idea about any particulars of the tanks...size, composition, etc. But she said she'd give them to me if I wanted them. My first instinct was sure, why not? But I know they'd have to be tested and certified to see if they're even any good (don't know how they've been stored or anything either).
My question is, since I don't know a thing about tanks and won't be able to tell anything myself unless they're all rusty and corroded looking, is it worth the price of getting them looked at if they end up being crap?
What I mean is, the cost of having two tanks inspected that may not be any good vs. buying one new.
Thanks for any advice
