| Air under pressure is scary stuff! It ranks up there on the top things I'm afraid of, personally. I still jump when a tank hisses or when someone's O-ring suddenly blows. >< It ruffles my fur all up and gives me one of those 'near death jump-starts.'
*shiver*
But I still play paintball. ^^ It's all good in the end.
Um...as a side note, I believe the rule is
Steel Tanks - 5 year hydro
Aluminum Tanks - 3 year hydro
Fiber Tanks - 3 year hydro
Not sure, but I think there are some aluminum CO2 tanks. One way you can check if it's steel or not is hold a magnet to it. If the magnet clamps, it's steel. If it doesn't, it's aluminum. =)
Correct me if I'm wrong, I think I got that off of some thing that someone was passing around about "rehydroing" and "places near you to rehydro."
And I'm pretty sure that the "2 inches rule" covers all tanks 9oz and below. 3.5ozer's are the same width as 9ozer's I believe, and 7ozer's too. So you should be in the clear.
