well first u g2 find out wether its din or a-clamp. Din will have a litttle screw in bit, like a large threaded hole. Dunno about a-clamp. Once you figure it out all u need to do is buy the fill rig and screw it into the valve and your ready to go.

what pressure is the cylinder rated to? if it's a 232bar then you might have to buy the fill rig and get it converted to a 232 din fitment at a dive shop, approx £20. 300 bar din fits are the paintball norm, but there are defo two types of din fit 300 has a longer thread and a little nipple sticking out, a 232 will screw on but is v unsafe and will leak big time.

hope that all helps, still gonna be cheaper than buyin a cylinder whatever you do

Right...if its a 232 bottle which it more than likely will be as divers dont really use 300bar, you need an A clamp fitting.
This is an A shaped frame with a large treaded bolt sticking out of opne end to tighten it on with and the snap connector at the other. Imn the middle will be a knurled wheel to bleed of after filling. The tank itself will have a rubber seal flush with the front of the valve.
You can get these from planet, SP(Boycott) AGDE in my sig and Diablo Direct.

yup if it's a divers bottle it's almost certainly gonna be 232, as well as straight a-clamp there is a valve that gets fitted to these that is a 232 din that can have a piece screwed into it to convert it to a-clamp.

take it to planet, an try a fill rig on it. if it doesn't screw on fully then i would say that it's a 232 din and you'll need to get the fill rig converted

You dont need to get it converted, my divers tank is 232 bar and ive got a 300 bar fill rig and it works fine.

Its not difficult!!
Just by a 232 A clamp fill rig if the bottle is 232 or a screw in 300bar one if its 300bar!!! Christ!!!!

It will likely have that bit, like a screw in spacer with rubber seal, coz thats what divers use.
