Damn it, where's Hotpoint when you need him? :D

Interestingly, the wording of the UKPSF web page concerning UK law has recently been changed. It used to read:

If you have a DOT cylinder and are not a visiting team from a country where DOT cylinders are approved, the supplier of air will also refuse to fill your cylinder.
It now reads:

If you have a DOT cylinder the supplier of air will also refuse to fill your cylinder.

I noticed also that H-PAC (who seem to provide air for all the UK tournaments now) have a large sign for the benefit of the queue stating that DOT bottles will not be filled. This is probably a condition of insurance, more than a change in the law.

Last Campaign Cup I used my Angel Air, which has both DOT and HSE testing, if I'm not mistaken, so no problem there.
Diablo Cup I played for the most part with my Cocker, which runs off a 'Geddon, which has an American tested bottle. Yet no one said anything about it...
That's why I'm curious if this has ever been enforced.
