	We use only genuine factory-supplied parts and never charge more than the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) for parts.
	Your equipment gets free readjustments and re-servicing within 60 days from the date of service in the unlikely event that you are not 100% satisfied.

Fill Express does not recommend renewing the visual inspection or hydro-static test for aluminum 6351-T6 alloy SCUBA cylinders because of issues associated with sustained load cracking (SLC) in those cylinders. for more information about aluminum 6351-T6 cylinders.

This service is normally combined with a separately priced full visual inspection. Even with the best quality fills, hydrocarbon contamination can build up over time in cylinders with heavy use. Therefore, Fill Express recommends that nitrox cylinders and valves should also be prepared for oxygen service each time the cylinder is hydrostatically tested.
