UK Legal Tank?

[Nuclear Wessels]

The more research i'm doing, the more worried im getting.

Found a thread here regarding the new Guerrilla Air tanks which are tri certified and DONT have a DOT on them. The GA rep on the forum quotes:

"I can assure you the ISO certification we have is allowed in the US. We are not the first company to release a tri-mark tank in the US."

Followed by:

"Yes I can assure you the tank can be rehydro. If you have a facility that is not certain, feel free to have them e-mail me at gislas@tiberiusarms.com and I will send them the documentation and proof. Unfortunately not every facility is educated on the ISO certification. The tank is good for five years, and can be re hydro for a lifespan of 15 years."

Pretty sure GA wouldnt sell something that wasnt legal.
The unfortunate bit.... those tanks have a Pi mark. I'm starting to feel this tank is going to be good for US use only.

This is especially concerning as i bought the tank a week ago, from another long serving member on this forum after he assured me it was a tri certified tank and good to use globally.

Looks like im going to be down £70 and stuck with a tank i can't use. You guys think i have any comeback on this?

The shop where Alex R got his information from sell Zen bottles which i believe is what you have though the ones they're selling have a different colour scheme and designed bottle, but the label on their bottles does have the Pi mark on it.

As BOD said, my post was copied and pasted off the description I got from a shops website, I could only find that one that had Zen bottles and the iso cert in the description. So I apologise for any miss information.

That's something you would have to take up with mods, personally if something is sold and it's not as described then you have a case., i would be asking why they're selling a virtually new bottle in the first place.
