BTW – as someone who used to fly cargo planes – please make SURE that tank is 
REALLY empty. I shipped a spare tank to someone and after venting the leftover 
methane, I filled it with compressed air and let the air out about 10 times to 
make sure it was empty.
I didn’t take any labels off of it, but I did write “empty tank valve open” on 
it.

Daniel,

I'm told that one of the few remaining sources for CNG tanks is CORP Brothers, 
Boston (I don't have the mailing address or phone number, but they are listed 
on the WWW).  Apparently the process is to take all stickers off your empty 
tank, and ship it to them by UPS as metal.  They will return by UPS filled with 
compressed natural gas.  CNG is rare these days, and CORP Brothers is one of 
the few places that I have heard provide this service.  This process may cost 
you $300 or more.  Good luck!

I think those valves would fit on a SCUBA tank, you might take it to a SCUBA 
shop and see.
What inspection did it fail, visual or hydro?

All, I recently removed my CNG tank from my C 33 to have it inspected and 
hopefully re-filled. Much to my dismay, it did not pass inspection (not a 
surprise as it is most likely 46 yrs. old) so I am now looking for a 
replacement. My tank is small measuring 7" in diameter by 29" long or 60 cu. ft.
Any ideas on possible sources would be most appreciated, I am not looking to 
convert to propane.
Thank you,

I fill mine at the local CNG station for about $2.00 a tank! I paid about $150 
for the car fill fitting to tank adapter and it paid for itself about the first 
fill.

I believe the threads on CNG are reverse to that of Scuba tanks.  That is both 
for the connection of the regulator to the tank and the tank valves to the tank
 
Is anyone manufacturing these smaller CNG tanks at this time?
