Cylinder Recertifications & Repairs
Recertification
We can recertify ALL SIZES of STEEL, ALUMINUM, and FIBERGLASS/COMPOSITE cylinders.
The date on the cylinder is the date it was recertified, so expiry date is 10 years from the date on steel and aluminum cylinders and 5 years from the date on fiberglass/composite cylinders.
We can retest cylinders with either a DOT or TC stamp. Repairs and re-certifications are done at our Lake City Way Showroom in Burnaby.
Cylinders can be dropped off and picked up from our Main St. Refuelling Station in Vancouver.
Retesting
Retesting is done at 3390 Lake City Way Burnaby (cylinders can also be dropped off at 1940 Main St Vancouver but will take longer to get done).

Steel & Aluminum Cylinders
Steel and aluminum cylinders require recertification every 10 years. POL, OPD, and QUICK-FILL valves are replaceable.
Some horizontal tanks may not be eligible for recertification, as the valve required is discontinued.
Please contact us if you have any questions about your horizontal cylinder.
We also stock RECYCLED CYLINDERS
Refurbished and valid for another 10 years
Sandblasted, re-painted, re-valved to look new.
Recycled cylinders cost less and reduce your impact on the environment!
Fiberglass / Composite Cylinders
Fibreglass/Composite cylinders require visual recertification every 5 years, and have a lifespan of 15 years after manufacture date.
Fibreglass cylinder valves and o-rings cannot be replaced. If the cylinder is leaking, it must be taken out of service.
Forklift Cylinder Recertification
Most cylinders only have 1 valve to replace, but forklift cylinders have several valves/ports that can be replaced during recertification.
Cost of the recertification covers replacement of relief valve and new recertification stamp. If any of the other valves/ports are damaged or not up to code, they will be replaced as well at extra cost.
**Staff will always phone the customer to confirm extra recertification costs**
