He fills on site. He might even have a tank you could buy. You might want to give him a call before you order a brand new one from OBK.
Perfect! Thanks.

If Glenn doesn't have tanks on hand, I was just at Atlantic Fire (industrial park). They have a 5lb reconditioned tank for $98. Includes hydro test and fill. They had a 15lb as well and I think it was $135

I had already called Glenn and he didn't have any tanks so I placed the order with OBK. $80 seemed ok and getting a few other odds and ends too.

Well Glenn "may" fill that tank without a Hydro test. He did fill one for me that was expired, but one thats never been done might be different.

Hydro Test? I asked him on the phone if I ordered one that was brand new if he could fill it and he said no problem.

A brand new tank, by  definition, should not need a third party hydro test

I had to pay praxair to hydro test my new obk tank before they would fill it. I knew there was a reason I stopped paying their ridiculous fill prices of almost 40 bucks.
