Your cylinder might hide a secret.
Enjoy your breathing air.

This time the air had a burnt rubber taste. And it should not have a taste.
 
I've got an AL80 in my garage that was last filled in around 1995, I think it's got about 1500 psi in it...when I get a regulator, I'll let you know.
Just wanted to bump this to say I used this tank a couple weeks ago. Had around 2400 psi in it, breathed it down to around 1100 or so. That 27 year-old air was just fine.
