Still might be difficult. If I understand correctly, (which I admit I might not as I am not an engineer) one needs to test at significantly higher pressure than one intends to use regularly. So if the tank will normally see 150 to 200# pressure then the test should be 250-300#. That will be somewhat difficult to produce without specialized equipment.
