NO!  Use water for a pressure test; that way if the tank fails you
won't have a sudden release of stored-up energy (aka explosion) with
pieces of tank parting your hair.  But in general I suspect that the
average DIY home owner type guy would take it to a pro.  I'd start by
talking to the local welding-gas outfit -- they may offer that
service since they deal every day with high-pressure tanks that need
certifying.
