Air tank testing

[SAMUEL.D.RYAN]

I need to test my angel air tank, so i emailed hpac to see if they would, and how much it would cost etc.
I got back this email:

Hi,

Sorry but due to new legislation we are no longer testing paintball tanks.

Hi,
I've recently bought an angel 4500psi 1.4l HPA bottle. Thing is, it's out of
date on the test.
Can you test it for me if i mail it to you? If you can, details (cost, where
to send it, and with what things etc.) would be great!

Thanks
Sam

anyone know anywhere where i can get it tested? any details and reviews of places would be great!
Thanks

this seems to be a regular discussion, but last i heard hpac were still testing bottles. wait and see what other members say though.

failing that, ask if they can put you in contact with testers as they will know of qualified companies capable of doing this for you. sorry this isnt much help.

hey,

theres a lot about this on talkpaintball (sorry if I'm not allowed to mention other forums )

from what i understand, government legislation changed and there are now only 2 centers that will test bottles, if you go on fatbobs they have a testing service where by you send your bottle to them and they send the bottle to the testers, then get it back to you once tested. as far as I'm aware thats the only way to do it currently, however i may be wrong

hope that helps

HPAC is the best place to get it done, well known and a great service.
