Dilemma
As I am about to buy a bottle I could do with knowing for sure. How would I find out in a hurry. I thought that they still need testing but hey what do I know.

well u have to change the valve to put an antisyphon on anyway, so u cant use it for air, so its a co2 tank and therefore does not need testing
Al.
if your worried about the shocker, you get plenty of shots out of a normal 20oz tank, just make sure u dont get luquid co2 into the solanoids.

The fastest growth area in paintball at the present time is the conversion of markers from CO2 to compressed air. With this in mind the UKPSF would like to bring to player’s attention the need to have cylinders tested at approved intervals. Testing must be carried out on all full fibre wrap after three years and half fibre wrap bottles after five years from the date of manufacture., Steel and Aluminium bottles must also be tested five years from the manufactured date. This applies to ALL bottles of 0.5litre capacity and above including CO2 bottles.
oops.... that would answer that then

Thanks for threads I guess we all know the score now. I bet there are a lot of outta date co2 bottles out there.

out of date co2
Yeah, one or two. Most of them probably in the hands of rental operators !
I think the US are getting very hot on out of test co2 bottles, and in europe I think the push towards the EC spec bottles (grey painted, not black) will intensify to force more control over CO2 bottles.
