Well, I would pull the valves out, make sure there is a siphon tube running all the way down to the outer edge of the bottle, same side as the line hooks up on first. Then, I would check the manufacturer/ or last test date. They need to be within 5yrs to be current. You can get them recertified at most compressed air retailers, here in Hawaii its $12 to recert. Other than that, make sure its clean inside when you remove the valve. You can always replace the valves too.

MuscleHud, just remember to completely empty the bottles before you try to remove the valves. Not calling you dumb or anything, but you would be supprised what I've seen... I have used bottles that were inspected in the early 90's, with no trouble at all. But every situation varys. Do a quick visual on the inside, if it would make you more comfortable, there are mre then 3 dozen gas suppliers here in Houston, they all can check it for you....
