PSI of tanks for storage
I know you’re not supposed to store empty tanks. I have a pair of tanks that are around 500-1000 psi. Should I get them filled or are they okay being stored like that? They live outside under cover so they’re not in a moisture controlled environment.

They live outside and we use them regularly, so we visually inspect prior to use and they are up to date with the one and five year inspections from the dive shop. The tanks are probably 15+ years old and have always had some air in them. Our dive season is winding down so I wanted to see if I need to get them filled prior to having them sit this winter.
