I've just pumped up my 12 litre 232 bar divers bottle with my R.W.S. pump. All I can say is, gasp, gasp, if you've got a dicky ticker don't try it, I'm knackered. Where are you Bozzerman, I need your advice as to where I can get it filled in your area. I don't want arms like Arnie. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_confused.gif" alt="Confused" width="15" height="22"><!--graemlin:--> <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_confused.gif" alt="Confused" width="15" height="22"><!--graemlin:

That sort of pump is meant for the silly little cylinders that form part of our rifles not a twelve litre cylinder ferchrissakes <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_eek.gif" alt="Eek" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:--> <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_eek.gif" alt="Eek" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:
No way I'm picking a fight with you... you must already have arms like Arnies <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_eek.gif" alt="Eek" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->
Are you from Yorkshire originally by any chance? Thats a hell of a lot of effort to save £2.50 down the local dive shop! <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->
The nice young lady at Henry Kranks told me that she has a customer in the shop who assures her that it can be done, I've not seen this bloke but I should think he has to turn side ways to get in Kranks front door. So I thought, "If he can do it,I can do it". YesI know, I'm a bit simple. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:

Nada has a wicked sense of humour - just wait 'til she hears someone's actually done it <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:

Now that is one of the most insane things I've ever heard! <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:
I used to use a pump for my S300, but due to the fact that I felt like the old ticker was going to pack up every time I did it, I opted for a divers bottle.
Oh, and I often take my 12ltr, 300bar bottle in a BIG rucksack the 20 miles to have it filled. Not on a moped, but a FireBlade! Not for the faint hearted!!!!!
Don
Has your Fireblade got as much BHP(do they still use brake horse power )as my moped? inside 10 mins I can get up to 15 miles an hour,which takes my breath away,with a bottle on me back I don't think I would leave the kerbside unless I used the peddles,Ron.
To answer your questions mate:
Has your Fireblade got as much BHP(do they still use brake horse power )as my moped? Yes, but only just <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:
Inside 10 mins I can get up to 15 miles an hour. Inside 10 seconds I can get up to 160 miles an hour. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:
I used to frequently carry a 21" TV on a Puch Maxi, my mate was too tight at the time to buy his own TV!
The only problem with carrying your divers bottle on your back is falling off. You'll end up doing a Rocketman, like the bloke at those Olympic Games, but with less grace and control! <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:
