Hey guys so I just got a ninja 48/3000 and I was confused on how to read the hydro stamp. Heres what the stamp is:

DOT3AL3000 TC3ALM207 M0812 08 1A18 12 CA107573 0.79L

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the video, but that actually doesnt help me because my tank does not have a sticker like the one in the video. The only thing stamped on it is the line of numbers that I posted above.

The stickers should generally be the same from manufacturer to manufacturer.
You should have a number, a company logo, and then another number immediately after it in its own little area of the label for quick viewing.
The way you have it written it's really a jumble of information but if I had to take a guess I would think 8/12 is your manufacture date. But without either seeing the label or having you decipher it I could be completely off.

There actually is not a label on my tank. Sorry for being confusing! I actually just found another thread and it seems like it is 08/12 like you said. Thanks for the help!

Ahh, I totally missed it was a metal tank. That was my fault. The numbers make much more sense now as the '1A18' labels it as an aluminum cylinder. I guess I should get some more sleep.

Its all good haha I should have said to that it was aluminum, my bad!
