The Co2 cylinder must be replaced anytime it is punctured. A CO2 cylinder is punctured if it automatic inflates when the user enter water. The PDF should be examined regularly to ensure that there is no leak in the vest. The typical recommended expiry date for PDF CO2 cylinder is one to two years, this recommendation should be followed even if the cylinder is not punctured.
