Ive not heard this but i have been to a site that will only allow you to fill to 4.5k if you are UKPSF registered and can show your card before filling up.

yes it is true, the extra PSI equirement for most sites is too much to justify the minority who will be using it, when punter sites use steel bottles. thats not to say sites who dont ave the equipment are going to stop letting people use it though.

Any air fill station that is capable of filling over 3000psi should be supervised.

Hence many sites not having a 4500psi air fill, they would need to have somebody stood next to it all day checking bottle to make sure nobody tries filling a 3000psi rated bottle to 4500psi.

Most big games have supervised air stations so you should be able to get a 4500psi fill.

You are correct, alot of sites only have the capabilities to fill to 3k. The masters xball is only 3k however the normal 5 man you get 4k fills.

North Vs south is a full fill off 4.5k, however this year due to a large number of people updrading to air from c02 towards the end of the day people where only able to get around 3.5k fills due to the compressors not being able to keep up with demand. I believe for future big games a greater number of storage banks may be employed to resolve the issue

HKG, if you don't think 3000psi will be enough for you, there is another way around it.

Buy a Bob Long Victory, 15-17 pods off one 4500psi fill. :D

I heard a rumor that Lips will have a spare one for sale at the end of the week due to someone pre-ordering and paying for one but then falling ill. :D:p:D (Gassy)
