Although Bill has correctly quoted the DOT CFRs, he neglected to throw in the General requirements which define the scope of the regulations (49CFR). If you care to peruse the requirements below, you will see that they are qualified with the terms IN COMMERCE. Thus, Rick was correct when he stated that DOT CFRs do not apply to privately owned SCUBA cylinders. I could find no specific reference to putrid stupid festering puss ball(s).
