    Spitfires like to be used.
    Lying idle causes problems.
    So remember to give it a go every week or so.

    190 bars is way too high. The pressure relief valve will limit it to 1900 PSI or just under according to Bowket, if its working properly.

    As you fill you will see the indicator on top of the scope rail rise up.
    There should be white rings around it.
    You fill till you see three rings I think.

    If you put too much in air hisses out of the indicator and you stop.

    Go to the facebook Spitfire group page where the instructions on how to use the pressure relief valve/shot indicator are fully detailed. All from the BSA instruction leaflet. No guesswork .
