DO
NOT USE. The DOT Has de-certified this bottle.....

**Some older bottles started with a 3 year test cycle (test
every 3 years). Then the DOT allowed the manufacturer to switch
these bottles to a 5 year test cycle. But they have to meet these
conditions.
What this means:
If your bottle has not been tested after the 2001 date
(May or July, see above), you must first use the 3 year
cycle. Once it is tested, then the same bottle switches to a 5 year
cycle?
Confussed?
Simple: You have a Luxfer tank "E-10915."
If your latest "HYDRO" test sticker says April XXX 2001,
Its last test date was April, 2001. It needs to be tested now, because
it is still ON the 3 year cycle (test sticker was before May 11,
2001). After this test, the bottle switches to a 5 year cycle.
It still has a 15year life.
