I've spoken with my hydro guy. He said the very same thing, Luis. He's on the other coast so I may not get it to him very quickly, but he is aware of it and is going to give it a fair testing.luis wrote:
• The third possible outcome is that the tank is rejected or fails, but not condemned. This happens if there is rust or other contaminants that can be cleaned, but the cylinder cannot pass until it is serviced. Minor or superficial thread imperfections that can be chased, can also fall under this category. This rejection is only a temporary status if the cylinder can be serviced and should never be marked in a permanent fashion, like stamping.
I'm assuming you disagreed with the first tester's decision which drove you to get it retested, but I sure would have bet against any other tester testing it after it had the dreaded XXXXXs stamped on it.georgeaustin wrote:I've had a tank fail and the tester stamps XXXX across the DOT numbers. I took the tank to another tester who passed it and stamped it.
As long as DOT has current record of a successful test - you're good to go - ( have been using the tank and had it filled at many places over the years )

He didn't but just because he put XXXXXX does not mean I can't have it tested again but I do know personally the second tester so that probably helped- he was surprised the guy put a stamp to it across my DOT numbers
