So, I dropped my tanks off at some local shop, not to be named. I was told that even though my tanks are fine, I need to tell the place that did the vis that it was done wrong. Apparently, the date of the vis should have been back dated on one of the tanks because it's going be hydro'd end of the year and the dates should match. They let me know that even though they check both the VIP date and hydro date, other shops might not and could be problems.
Me: Really? How?
They pointed in the general direction of all the tanks and said that one blew up.
Me: Oh really? Was everything current?
Them: yeah. It was an older tank. One of those luxfers with a different alloy. It happened a long time ago. In the early 90's.
Apparently, the place that did the vis (place not to be named) is supposed to lie about when a VIP is done, when the rules regarding VIPs clearly state you put the date of VIP on the sticker. You don't lie about when it's done.
But some goober might be confused.
I'll post more from this shop at some point. Too many times I've gone in there and stuff like this happens.. from more than one person..
My question is, are all shops like this? Spilling drivel in an attempt to make themselves look good but instead screaming what an idiot they are.
