I dropped my 1971 Healthways branded tank for a hydro on Tuesday.
Picked it up today and the LDS employee (about 19 yr/old) was just filling it with air before handing it over to me. Apologised for not being able to bring it right up to max because they only had a 4000lb air bank.
She said my tank passed with only 58ml of displacement and 1ml permanent stretch. I wonder what she tested it at???
So now I have a 72 that had just shy of 4000psi in it. I expect it's OK but I don't really know. I bleed about 1500psi out. The shop says they will replace it, basically tank for tank if there is a problem with it.
So my next question is...what is tha max pressure a stock RAM will operate at?
I think an AL tank would have been all over the room with that kind of percentage over pressure.
