S10 Buddy bottle won't fill

[Kes]

Trying to fill a second hand S10 bottle to 232 bar from empty but as soon as I get to 100 bar the bottle just dumps all the air.
Could there be a simple reason for this other than the bottle is just nackered?
Is there something I'm not doing
Grateful for any advice/answers on the subject. Thanks.

Using a pump, Steve?

You know it Dave.

Get to someone who has a bottle and give it a few quick blasts to move any shyte. Other than that, get it serviced by BSA...

[Kes]

Thanks mate. I'll try and go for option one there. Paid £30 for it s/h Don't really want to splash out any more dosh on the thing.
How much is a new one any way?

[Davestate]

Hi Kes.
Give BSA a ring as I paid £35-25 for a 400cc bottle,they call them seconds but I can't see much wrong with them apart from the paint looks a bit
orange peely in texture.

Hi Kes.
They do the 200 cc bottles for about £28-00.

I think it's the same with all BSA PCP's, if they are empty you need a blast of compressed air to get it above 100+ bar to seal the seals if you see what I mean, my Hornet was exactly the same and as they are regulated I was counting every shot as there was no drop in performance until it was too late... Then I got a bottle so now I don't give a shyt.

Looks like you're right Ricky. Spoke to that nice man JB today who pretty much confirmed what you've said. Said if I mail it to him he'll sort it for me.

Thanks to all for advice and input guys. Much appreciated.

Take it to LV, Steve, there'll be plenty of folk with a bottle.
