I just acquired a scuba cylinder, but I'm done diving until the spring.?

Question

What is the best way to store my cylinder until I use it again when the weather warms?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Charged or at least partially so and secured upright in a dry location, preferably, if you need to have it laying down, again secured with the valve in a position that it won't take a hit by passing by. Keep that dust cap on.

If it's due for a vis or hydro in spring, personally, I wouldn't bother to spend money filling it, if it has at 400 psi in it. Don't leave it empty though.
