There's nothing funny about my illness man. I had a degenerative bone marrow infection as a child












No I'm just kidding dude I had you going for a second though I'll bet. Laugh at my short arms all you like

Mite just do that mate.

Only reason I want to sell is becuase now I'm driving I plan on visiting a few deifferent sites and don't want the hassle of traveling then being turned away becuase of the air system I use.

It has nothing to do with the incident down south (I work with kerosene so the odd 'fire incident' does not phase me at all)

sorry off topic i know. but has any one got a 4500 fill since the last stako incident ? or is every one filling to 3000 only

HPAC said to me at the first UKM south event that I could fill it to 4500.

Nothing to do with the alleged Stako incident but all sites/organisers complying to the UKPSF air policy must only offer HP Air to 3000psi. (if they offer a higher fill it could effect their own site insurance and would also nullify the UKPSF insurance)

The reason is a health and safety issue and because regulators on 3000psi rated bottles and regulators on a 4500psi bottle stupidly have the same fill nipple there is obviously a possibility someone could put the higher pressure into a lower rated bottle.
To make sure a customer cannot put the wrong pressure in only the lower pressure should be offered.

Let me make it clear the policy does not say 4500psi is dangerous at all and that pressure would be offered if the manufacturer's fitted a new non-interchangeable fill nipple on the higher rated systems.

That would entail they put a different thread in the regulator so the new nipple can not be put in the wrong reg.

the lightest 68cubic inch tank (1.1 litre) is the Inocom.
NOt the friggin Luxfer. which also ISNT 0.90kg. its 0.953kg

I believe the Inocom is a DOT bottle so lets make the question..which is the lightest setup legal in the UK

Pretty much

 

[Lovetone]

sigh....

all those are DOT (apart from the Stako)

so...your point is what?
You cant sauy that within the confines of the quoted source material, the Luxfer is the lightest because it isnt.

I wouldnt be suprised if those weights are incorrect anyway, seeing as I have a Pi label SCI bottle and its 1.00kg, not 1.13kg as quoted.

 

[Revolt]

thats pretty cool that.... 99% of ballers own a 4.5k tank which is now pretty useless as ukspf tournies will only fill to 3k..... lame :/
