Who the hell would be stupid enough to add oil to air lines??

We run all site guns on air and our proud of the fact that our air is breathing quality. Add oil to your system and you now have dirty air!! Would be worried about filling my bottle with a oiled system not so much because of explosion, but for the long term damage the oil will do to my kit.

Never accept a dirty fill guys, its just not worth the hassle later down the line.

bear in mind......... not everyone is as bright as you mate (and not all sites as scrupulous)........and there is no intelligence test required before buying a marker/air system. I have played with some complete wooden tops..... then add to that the fact that before most tourneys lots of teams drive all night....... you have sleep deprivation and stupidity coupled with 4500 psi air............. I'm surprised we've lasted this long.
We've all stood next to someone at the fill station then slowly backed away as we've realised how dangerous they are.

Its not a case of being stupid to accept the oiled fill in the first place as it wasn't known at the time until it was too late. The other problem was that it was a tourney and we didnt have dive tanks with us and because the guy doing the fills was somewhat inexperienced to say the least. We will wont go that route in a hurry cause if it happens again then there will some major explaining to be done.

I was lucky that Kitch fixed mine in a very quick space of time whilst at a session nr Southampton - luv ya Kitch :D :D
