I would try a metal shop or a welding shop. Then you can give them back the old tank when your done and trade for a full one.

I got mine at Air Liquide, they'll swap the bottle when you need a fill. This way you'll never have to worry about a hydro test and rust.
Get size 9 (13 lb.) Fill is $32.50. I get about a year out of it.
