Might be something wrong with it after you spend all the money getting up in running. Better off getting new one.


Just my opinion ; )

Thanks for your input...

Terrible deal, who has it for sale? lol. I couldn't read the label on it or really see what kind of shape it's in. Tried to enlarge the photos but no luck. It's a good price if its in good shape and can pass a hydro if it's out of compliance now. If it needs a fresh hydro to finish out it's 15 life that would run you $35-$45. If you have to pay for shipping add another $30. Just re-read and saw that the shipped price..not bad.

It has 6 years of life left. And he has a few to sale. Didnt seem like a bad deal. Im just new to all this and needed some imput on this from all u guys and girls that are in the know.... : ) thanks

Richard, is it still in hydro? Did he give anymore information on them, like "they have air in them now"? If you get one and need a fill assembly let me know. Are you able to enlarge the pictures by hovering the curser over them. It's not working for me.

He has them on ebay now. put these numbers in the search box and it should come up. 191747591832 I'm not sure if it is in hydro? I sent a message and haven't gotten a reply yet... thanks

 

[Richard300]

just saw that it will need hydro.... tanks is empty...

I would recommend that you have a place to get it hydro-tested before you purchase it. It's great if you have a place locally but you will have to factor cost of shipping if you don't. Understand that there is a possibility that it may not pass the test and you will not be able to get it filled (not to mention dangerous to use). Even though, I will have a compressor and will be filling the tank myself, I will have my tank tested. I do not want to take the risk of using a defective tank and hurting myself or worse someone I love. 
just my 2 cents,

Doc

I've been buying these:

Mfg: 2008

They're not hydro tested, but the ones I've purchased have passed with no issues. It costs a few bucks more, but you get 2 more years of use too.
