My Co2 tank is a fire extinguisher. It has to be emptied, refilled with co2 and fitted with the proper valves. Then hydrostatic tested.

It may still be hydrostatic certified. Any fire supression or welding shop can fit it for you. It may cost more than buying a new one but you should be able to trade it in and reduce the cost of a new one.
