Bottles that fail test at hpac or similar are sawed in half. I assume they're binned afterwards. You need to make sure there's no way it could be filled up and contain pressure.

I am sure there will be someone willing to send this to HPAC and get it tested if it is in pretty good condition, pass it on to a old team mate... (WITH A FULL OUT OF DATE WARNING) Thats what I would do.

Well it ran out of test 2008
i am not sure if it can be re-tested or not
and as you cant sell out of test bottles i am going to dispose of it in the right way

Yeah dude, you can retest an air bottle twice (every 5 yrs usually) before it's dead, so it might be worth sending it off to hpac to have it tested and then sell it on if it passes.

Actually, you could retest it as many times as you liked within the 15 years of the born date, assuming it passed each time. Just to be completely pedantic.
