"Burton's Dive Service will not fill any cylinder that does not have a current visual inspection decal from a recognized facility or inspector."
As of July 31 we will no longer accept generic VIP decals from any agency. There must be some indication that allows us to trace back the cylinder to whomever last inspected it before we fill it. (ie: store name, inspector number etc.) We will also continue to service and fill 6351 alloy aluminum cylinders and will be using the Visual Plus 3 device when we do inspections on these cylinders. Many shops will not fill or service these cylinders, some will only fill them if they have done the inspections.
The following is a list of cylinders made of 6351 Alloy: (list may not be complete)
All aluminum tanks under Special Permit # 6498, 922, 7042, 8107, 8364, 8422
All Walter Kidde 3AL Cylinders
All Cliff Impact Cylinders
All Luxfer S80.8 Manufactured Prior May 1987
All Luxfer S72 and S100 Manufactured prior to August 1987
All Luxfer S80 Manufactured prior to January 1988
All Luxfer S50 and S92 Manufactured prior to April 1988
All Luxfer S30 and S63 Manufactured prior to May 1988
All Luxfer S40 Manufactured prior to June 1988
Please Note, Catalina Cylinders were never made from 6351 T6.
