Recent DOT regulation (SP-16320) changes have led to some amazing developments for airgunners! Life Extended tanks may be used up to an additional 15 years from their born on date. For example, a tank manufactured in the year 2002, would have previously expired in 2017. Now, this tank may be usable until 2032 once Life Extended!
If the cost of a brand new carbon fiber air cylinder has kept you from getting into PCP airguns, a Life Extended cylinder may be the answer! These carbon fiber cylinders are lightweight and capable of storing up to 4500 psi of high pressure air. Potentially providing thousands of shots for your PCP airguns!
Of course, just like brand new carbon fiber SCBA cylinders, they must pass testing every 5 years from the Life Extension date to remain in service (Ex. A tank Life Extended in 2017, wouldn’t require a retest until 2022). This testing can only be done by Digital Wave Corporation for Life Extended tanks and will cost about the same as a standard hydro-test, plus shipping and handling.
These cylinders come with a brand new 300 BAR DIN valve and fill assembly that ends in a female quick disconnect fitting, ready to fill your PCP airguns. The valve and fill assembly feature stainless steel fittings, a 24 in. microbore hose and a rubberized hand wheel for controlled filling. The integrated pressure gauge lets you know when you're reaching your full charge, and the bleed valve is conveniently located on the valve.

When you look into it, the life-extension process pioneered by Digital Wave is actually VERY cool when you look into it. The Navy asked them to explore ways to extend the life of their GIANT fleet of carbon fiber tanks, so they worked with he DOT (who makes the laws around air tanks) and developed a brand new way to extend the life of the tank by doing more extensive testing than is done in the first 15 years of life. This allows them to ensure the safety of the tanks for another 15 years. VERY interesting, and awesome opportunity for PCP users looking for a less expensive way to get a tank, but there are some things to be aware of. The tank still has to be tested every 5 years, but ONLY DigitalWave can do that testing on these Live Extended tanks. Be sure to read the tank after you buy for info. ALSO, you may need to bring the DOT documents that allow LE tanks to get it filled. Comes with everything you need to fill the gun (BUT not everything you will need, please see below.)
Things I would have changed:As mentioned above, this tank comes with everything you need to fill the gun, but according to my local firehouse, it does NOT come with everything you need to fill the tank itself (At least from their system.) Local dive shop also said they would likely need an adaptor to fill from their system but did not have a chance to look at it to make sure, and I would assume the same would be true if I owned a compressor myself. I'm sure this is something an experienced PCP user would know, but I, as a first-time Tank buyer, did not realize. I ended up having to get the Air Venturi "firehouse" male SCBA adapter. Wish this had come as an optional package, or at least mentioned somewhere in the ad that an adapter to fill the tank may be something to think about.
What others should know:This tank (mine at least) was life extended in 2017. I purchased it in 2021, which means I have 1ish year of use before I need to send it back to Digital Wave for re-testing. This is an inexpensive process but is something the potential purchaser should be aware of. If you buy a new tank you will still need to get it tested every 5 years, but you don't have to send it to the same company and might be able to get a new tank tested locally instead of paying for shipping. For more information about the Digital Wave Life extension process, type those words into Youtube and watch both Air Venturi and Digital Wave's videos about it.

What does life extended mean on this tank and how does that happen?
Sorry if I am not posting this in the right spot... I bought a 98 cu. ft. tank, setup is essentially what you see in this add. Ok, what I don't know, and my local dive shop was absolutely no help on, is what kind of a regulator do I need to fill my tank from a dive shop tank? I need to go from a dive shop tank to my tank, via the quick connect fitting on my tank. To me, this is a simple question. But I am having trouble finding an actionable answer. Bueller.....Bueller......Bueller......
The dive shop has 2 options. You can fill the tank thru the hose via a foster male output from the shops compressor. If you remove the hose from the tank valve the threads are Din 200. Most dive shop compressors have a Din 200 output.
Do I need additional equipment (i.e. valves etc to fill this tank from a compressor?
That depends on your compressor and what kind of connections it has. What compressor are you using? What does the output hose have on it?
