Not as far as I know.

STAKO were accepting returns for bottles that were faulty...but...to check...fill yours up, then dump it in the bath or bucket of water and look for bubbles.

You are looking for a constant stream of bubbles...it may come from the gap between the tank and the reg, this is fine and just means you need a new o-ring on the reg thread (back end).

If you get lots of bubbles from anywhere else On the actual tank, not the reg nipples etc)...leave the tank in the garden and email stako...video or photographic evidence would be useful in your email.

ok cheers

take it 1000 psi will be enough ?

 

[Skeet]

well yeah...better full, but you should get an idea with 1000psi.

Shouldnt be much of a problem but if you do get a constant stream of bubbles like Skeet said then put it somewhere where it wont be able to harm you or anyone else.

1000 PSI may not sound much but then again a car tyre only has around 50 PSI in them

 

[Jimmymac]

just done it now ,only place there is a constant flow of bubbles from the bottom of the reg gouge ? take it this is not a problem ?

 

[Skeet]

bit between the reg and the tank? That just needs new fatter o-ring on the thread of the reg that screws into the tank and that is ok.

It will also show you any leaks from gauges or fill nipples etc.

 

[Jimmymac]

just getting a leak from the gauge thats all. i can live with that
lol

Thing is, just be sensible when you fill it...don't let it get completely empty if you can help it and fill it very slowly, as you should any tank.

Keep your goggs on, and point the tank away from your balls!
