No! You did not get what I meant. When I say most tanks, exclude Alum. 80's because they move more quickly. I was saying they sit on the manufacturers shelf. Example... When I ordered my low pressure steel 112's which I put together with a isolation manifold, which I must say they are great. Well anyway they came to the shop with hydro almost out of date, only a few months left. This is an extreme example. I called the manufacturer and told them. All I got was an apology. I later investigated and found on the average 3 years manufacturers shelf. Well since I deal with a shop that does hydros and all equipment service in the Orange County area, they just did the hydro for me no charge.
