That said, if I remember correctly, the illegal Clippard tanks very clearly say "Clippard" on them.
The issue with the banned white Clippard tanks was that they had threaded ports on either end and if the brass insert was over tightened, the tank could (and did) fail at the threads. I cant tell by the picture, but if it uses threaded ports, as a RI I would fail it even if it were not Clippard and was demonstrated as rated to 125 psi.

Yes, bring documentation of where and what you purchased.
