[shamhaider]

The life of any cylider is based on the filling cycles..On average it is 40,000 cycles.Means you can fill for 40,000 times provided there is no physical or chemical changes occur in the structure.

This info is not valid for Pakistan. I don't think any one will discard his cylinder just because it has expired!
We don't think life so precious
Most of us have the mentality "jab tak chalta hay chalaee jao"

[bluntknife]

It certainly would have been valid if it were pertinent. The life of a cng cylinder is described in terms of filling cycles. I checked the faber cylinder in my khyber and found nothing of the sort engraved or imprinted on it.

Nice Info dude, I got one forwarded email having same info and it also had a picture of an incident that happened with an Alto, It said like this:

On one of three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date is coded alpha numerically as follows:

A or B or C or D and some two digit number following this e.g. D06. The alphabets stand for quarters

A for March (First Qtr),
B for June (Second Qtr),
C for Sept (Third Qtr),
D for December (Fourth Qtr).
The digits stand for the year till it is valid. Hence D06 would mean December qtr of 2006.
This would not have had happened if checks were done timely.

What if they say the cylinder is expired ? Is that expired cylinder sell able or replaceable ?
