Steve, I don't think they are DOT approved. I looked at a couple of the tanks they have for sale & no sign of a DOT inspection sticker. So getting it filled at a scuba/paintball shop is a
no go
. But if you're going to fill it yourself with a compressor than that shouldn't be an issue.

When I was shopping for my 6.8l tank Acecare did offer a DOT tank in 6.8l but it was almost 3 hundred dollars more, I passed as I going to fill myself w/Tuxing Twin and Nitrogen.

You should look up a DOT SP number and read the letter of interpretation. SP is a special purpose number. Not all DOT numbers really mean tanks have been tested to meet the standard. I have a Gurlleu Chinese tank imported by a tank manufacture/seller in Kansas. The tank is certified for 3 years with a 15 year total life. Mine has a CE rating, number, serial number and license. My plan is to become tank inspection certified before I retire so I have a side gig inspecting and certifying tanks.
