I have a PST LP95 that failed it's first hydro after it's manufacture hydro. I would like to do something with it other than sell it as scrap metal. Any ideas?
 
cut it in half and make a bell out of it. Make a mailbox out of it. Make a pressure pot for pressure testing things.
 
cut the top off say about 8 inches from the neck. Use it as an umbrella stand, planter. Use the top with neck/valve as a door stopper or a nice paper weight.
 
We give ours to a guy who makes windchimes, but I've always wanted to make a bank out of one.

If I were you I would call PST first though.

Makes a nice boat anchor.
 
I would like to see a scuba tank explode...

Check the threads at the bottom VVVV Apparently there's a peculiar hydro procedure for PST's - if the hydro shop didn't follow it, it may have been failed incorrectly.
