Hi Kent,

It is stamped on the top shoulder of the cylinder, along with all the other
numbers and letters. These include:

1) date of manufacture, first hydro date and subsequent hydro dates
2) tank type: DOT-3AL, CTC/DOT-3AL, etc
3) rated pressure: 3000, 3000-J, 2650, etc
4) special permit or excemption numbers: 6498, 7042, 8107, 8364, 8422
5) manufacturer or resellers name: Faber, Luxfer, USD, etc

There's a lot there sometimes and I'm sure I am only a little more informed
than you, so there may be more or I may be misinterpreting some of it. You
just have to hunt through all the alphabet soup. Basically if it says
DOT-3AL anywhere on it, regardless of the special permit numbers, make sure
that the visual is current and was done properly. Which applies to all
tanks...right? This should just act as a reminder to be more vigalant about
something that we all might be a little loose with at times.

Regards,
