Hi,

I think (as far as i know) that you cant get the little 13/14ci air bottles in the UK, is there any way around this or could I swap the reg on it for a UK legal reg or what??

Any help is appreciated

It's not just the reg that may be an issue, but the bottle itself. If made to normal USA DOT spec it won't be legal for use in the UK. You need to check with supplier which standard bottle is manufactured to, otherwise it could be a wasted effort importing them.

you would have to go to america, take off the reg, bring it to england, have H-pac test the bottle to Pi standards, then you would get it back fully legal in england and europe.

(the reg needs to be taken off to be taken on aeroplanes)

It's not possible to re-test any bottle to a different standard - if the bottle is only DOT rated, then it cannot be tested & certified to meet Pi standards.

If not available contact Demon and ask if they will have more.

If Pi marked (Demon UK stock was / is Pi marked) then it is UK legal.
If intended for the US market (DoT marked) then unless it also has the Pi mark then it cannot be used
