Luxfer (Pure Energy) wrapped tank recall

This is about a recall of a limited number of tanks distributed by PMI, that were made by Luxfer. Since we sell, service and fill many tanks with the PMI (Pure Energy) name on them I thought I would post the particulars of this recall to assist you with resolving this issue IF you have one of these tanks.

I have no information indicating that there is or isn’t a hazard associated with this recall. By all appearances it seems that some simply were not tested before going to the distributor. The tanks affected will have a date between May, 2005 and September 2005.

The safety advisory can be read at DOT Safety Advisory

If you go to this advisory, page down to the bottom to see tanks that were distributed by PMI that are part of this list I have provided. Not all of the tanks got out of the warehouse and most of the tanks affected are in use elsewhere not in paintball.

Also included in this post is a picture of a sample label.

This recall has been going on since mid 2006 so maybe most have already been returned. Prior to now we’ve only had vague information and couldn’t pass it on.

First look for the DOT E 10915, DOT E 9635 or DOT E9834. If your air tank does not have any one of these numbers, go back to sleep.

Second and only if your tank has the DOT E number above, look for the serial number of the tank on the label in a similar fashion to the sample label picture I have provided. If your air tank does not have any one of these serial numbers, go back to sleep.

If you have positively identified one of these tanks, contact Arrow Industrial Services at 1-800-355-3156 for instructions.

What does this mean to you if you have one of these tanks? It means that it cannot be refilled until it is returned to Arrow or Luxfer and tested/replaced.
