condemned tank

I don't agree. You are asking the Dive Shop to make quite a leap of faith. They were the only shop that filled it, You never let the tank go below 800PSI.

I recently purchased a used tank from a local dive shop. They did a VIP before I took the tank. I wouldn't have wanted to take the tank without one. Once that inspection happend, the tank became my responsibility. If you didn't have a VIP done at the time of purchase, you don't know if the problem started before you had the tank or while it was in your care.

Working from the viewpoint, that the Dive Shop you are purchasing from, isn't trying to sell dangerous tanks. You have to assume that the tank was sold in good faith.

Now if you are using a local shop for other than just air fills and small items, I would think they would want to be more helpful in "working out a deal" to keep you happy and positve. But if not, I wouldn't expcet them to work very hard for your business.
