You may not be able to ship them across state/province lines if they are pressurized (i.e., CO2). Check your regulations before offering them for sale on the 'net.

we just pull one from the house and bring it along and we have used it for an out of control Coleman stove with flames running down the legs, liquid gas.

Re-valve them and add a regulator for the perfect portable draft beer CO2 tank. Ask me how I know this works :D

I don't have any pics unfortunately, but when I briefly worked for a fire alarm/extinguisher company I had a tank re-valved. It was dead easy. Just let the pressure off, unscrew the old valve, clean thoroughly, and put the new valve in. They had the hydrostatic testing chamber, so it could be re-certified. I sold it on to a friend a few years later. Before I got interested in teardrops.

we get fire extinguishers that time out at work all the time, due to the shipping issues, they just let us take them home as they figured out it wasn't worth it to shoot them off into the dumpster and then pay to ship them in for recertification/refilling.
