Refilling Air cylinders

[Tom Allen]

I have one of those compressed air warning notices, but i keep forgetting to take it with me.

What I did was got one of those rubber sucker things, then stuck the sticker on some plastic and put it on the rubber sucker...leave it in the car n stick it on when necessary.

Tom,

Next time you load up your dive tank, imagine a firman saving your ass in an accident (hope this never happens) and then your dive tank cooks off. You gotta let the poor buggers know what you is carrying my friend.

Yes, good point mate. I should really stick it in the window permanently, you never know when it may be needed. Better to be safe than sorry, and as you say, when you expect to be helped, it pays to be helpful.

Don't stick it permanently unless you always carry the gas bottle........ if something happens (even something minor) and you have the sticker and no bottle they'll take all of the compressed gas hazard precautions.

Anyway, just buy a couple of extra tanks for your marker, fill them at tourneys/site and you are sorted.......... seriously, you can get a few marker tanks for the price of a dive tank and how much gas will you need between tourneys?
That way you avoid all of the lugging about, expense and dubious legality of decanting from bottle to bottle.
(decanting just means transferring between bottles....... gas, liquid whatever).

 

[Skeet]

Yeah but you need a reg to cap each bottle!
Whats possibly illeagle (sick bird) about decanting?

ok cool i was looking at getting a few spares but im still not sure if im am gonna make the switch between co2 and air as next season will hopefully be my first tourny season and i probably don't play at a high enough level for it really to make a difference. level

 

[JoseDominguez]

decanting certain gasses..... filling from one tank to another unless qualified lots of HSE problems........ just cos we don't enforce the rules doesn't meant they aint there.
Worth looking into.........amazing how many laws you break/bend just by filling a tank. How many times do you see 15/16 year olds filling their tanks? check that one out too.

 

[Skeet]

Bizarre...cant do it in petrol stations either!

Good points to make Jose, i looked at extra bottles, before buying a dive bottle, but as skeetmaster says, they need regs and thats money. Another point is if you get a problem with a reg your knackered, as you have to dump the gas to work on it.
