James, I believe that compressed air made the bottle go 'POP'.

I know, I know. I should be helping resolve the JFK thing, how Diana died and bringing OJ to justice. But at least I have been able to put my shrewd investigative skills to good use here.

No need to thank me.









I'll bill you.

oh, ive been told about these, where people put lube or what ever into the fill nipple to stop leaks, and then a fire starts inside the bottle... and eventually pops..

OK, I'm standing here with arms outstretched to my sides, palms up like a giant scale. In one hand a pile of Common Sense and Self Regulation,in the other a big bag of Nanny State, now which one is going to win?

Do we want to be forced into spending £20/£30 a year on having out equipment retested and postage both ways? Or, do we keep level heads and spread the word about safety?
