In Australia 6351 alloys have effectively been banned, nobody will fill, inspect or test them. In fact all alloys over 15 years old have been classed as unsafe and will not be filled tested or inspected. Having said that they are still out there and it has become a problem for new players. People that have them and haven't used them for a while are finding out that they can't be filled and then selling them on eBay without disclosing the age or the fact that they can't be used.

This is happening every day here in the States. People getting an ebay "bargain" on tanks which turn out to be unfillable scrap... But anyone buying anything on ebay or craigslist should realize its buyer beware.
 
I have done VERY well with ebay and used gear.... Just need to be careful...:wink:
