clubshot 22 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 There is a Shortage of 300 Bar bottles Manufactures can not keep up with Demand Trouble is that Test Date go from Maufacture not sale There has been some so called Bargins around Only for owners to find out they are old bottles with Short Test Dates Also if you Buy a A-Clamp or Din fitting it needs Testing every Two years Where a Air Gun Valve Only needs Testing every Five Years Test Fees are £40.00 plus .... You can decant down - as most Filling Stations charge the same to fill 300 Bar It pays to get the largest bottle available Yes Air might be Free - But pumping it to 300 Bar cost Money ...... I here that they are now bringing out None Diving Bottles - for Air Gunners which advised are a few £'s better It pay's to check out local filling Stations As they might offer a better deal if aware you will be returning for Fills There is not a lot to play - in Trade Price - Especially with ever increasing Carriage costs BOB/R Quote Link to post

I use a PADI dive centre for my testing. His hydrostatic test price is £25 inc VAT and refill, that test has to be carried out once every five years on bottles with valves that can be used underwater (that is a valve without a gauge). His visual tests are only £10 inc vat (carried out every 2 and a half years on cylinders without gauges in the valves) once again refill included. Folks shop around, there could well be somewhere closer to you that does testing and refilling a damned site cheaper than Bob is being charged. Bob if you are being charged that much mate you are being robbed! Mugged! Otherwise fiscally disadvantaged. Oh if anybody doubts me the web site for the company I use is... East Coast Diving So take a bargain, tests are not that damned expensive! Quote Link to post
Marksman 934 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 As with everything today prices vary greatly, but there are bargains out there Try WWW.goshoot.co.uk they normally have some good deals on Darryl Quote Link to post
lksopener 105 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 In the end I went to my local shop sds. Got a 12 litre at £230. Was manufacturer stamped April sold to me in may so no short test dates. Air rifle gauge with a 5 year test. Happy days, they charge £3 to refill the cylinder. One question can you get a blanking screw for the air cylinder? Liam Quote Link to post
