    When the firemen/ladies go in to smoke filled building, the tank on there backs are the same as my carbon one's.

    I've used the local fire station here today to fill my cylinder, nice and easy and no charge though I'll probably take them a pack of coffee as a thankyou.

    hahaha.....
    3.50 to fill in a dive shop..... Or.....
    Hassle the local fire brigade..... and then pay 5.95 for a jar of Nescafe Gold Blend (just to show they're worth it! ) Mmmm...???
    hahahaha.

    I can just imagine the headlines..... "Local airgun enthusiast killed in tragic hit'n'run accident by fire engine as it leaves the station!" haha.
    In Liverpool... you'd be more likely to get 'Jet-Washed' by them if you asked them to re-fil your air cylinder! hahahahaha. ;-)

    Visited my Old Filling Dive Force Marine @ Edmonton - North London today
    Who has a large Water Called Pump as Run's a Diving School

    To get a Members bottle retested.....

    Was explaining that costs keep rising the more He fills - As top end

    Cyclinder wear out faster reaching 300 Bar -

    Latest Bill just under £600...........

    As been getting my Bottles Filled @ Pax - From His New Compressor

    But do miss the Full Fills from Storeage Bottles

    Against Pump that Cut's out @ 305 Bar and cools down to about 290 Bar
