Matress Tags on tanks -

Manufacturers put those "DO NOT REMOVE, ALTER OR COVER!" stickers on tanks. I always pull em off.

Improper handling of high pressure cylinders can be dangerous. Well, "no crap!"; getting in water may get you wet and sticking your hand in fire may get it burned.

Worry about something more important.

Pull them off because technically you are required to remove all stickers to perform a visual inspection

not really. You said to give a "better" visual inspection vs a "proper" visual inspection. The good hydro shops will strip them all down but most are too lazy and don't, every sticker is supposed to come off.

You would have to see a brand new one. Whats the chance? :wink:

Lol... I had to look this up. I've never owned a brand new cylinder, didn't even know they came with a sticker like that:rofl3:
