General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a D.O.T. vs ISO/US marked cylinder and why? My LWS told me that they will not refill a cylinder if it is not D.O.T. stamped.

Technicality. There probably covering there legal butt. If they take it in and have to ship it out to retest the tank then they take the risk of getting dinged by the dot. It's an excuse some places use to keep from having to take in tanks that aren't there's.
I have more questions than answers

If it's not got an approved DOT stamp, it's illegal to transport it once it's refilled. It's a "one-time use" or a "fill on site" cylinder without the DOT stamp.
The DOT has specific retest requirements and standards that must be met to transport them on public roadways.
Same for the vessels I work on. Every five years, I retest them for DOT certification (Also valid in Canada.)
