[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 171146, member: 1604"] The "Insulation" in a semen tank is actually a vacuum. Sooner or later that vacuum is released. Yes, the tank could be used if left unfilled. But............ The only way to check a tank is to fill it with nitrogen and see how long it takes for the nitrogen to evaporate. Different tanks are built to hold the nitrogen for different lengths of time. Each time he comes to fill my tank, the filler takes a measurement of the nitrogen with a yardstick and writes it down. We will know when my tank is going bad by this record. The "shipper" tanks are another story in that they have an absorbant material in them that holds the nitrogen for short lengths of time.
