divers bottle

[duck 0]

hi all just a quick question, i've got a divers bottle for my pcp and it has no test on, but i can still get it filled without been tested at this place i know for 2 pounds, is it still safe it's been out of test for nearly a year and have had it filled a number of times, i know it should be tested.

You're playing with fire there, mate. They have rules for a very good reason!

 

It'll only stand so much.

 

Cheers.

I have used cylinders that where out of test for 6 years and more but I would not recommend it. At the end of the day its up to you and the person that fill it. If the thing goes bang I would not want to be near it as they do have a habit of destroying anything that's around them at that time.

I hope you don't expect anyone on here to say " Yea mate no problem " and then put the blame on that person when you end up with your balls blown of because " Ohhh he said it was ok to use it like that.

If its out of test, then get it tested, if it fails, then get another, its not worth getting injured for £150 worth of bottle.
