Divers transport them all the time, as do the couriers and delivery drivers delivering them with other items - at no point does anyone's private vehicle or a delivery vehicle which may carry these as part of it's consignment have to legally display a sticker - it's different for commercial use and obviously for vehicles specifically delivering such items in bulk, but rest easy on this one or we would all have been booked already.

pressurised gas - same legislation as a fire extinguisher

I'm pretty sure the law is JFDI. If it's a commercial vehicle then you need to display a green lozenge sign saying compressed gas on board (other than you ) but it's not mandatory for private vehicles. Obviously (I hope!) you should make sure it's safely secured.

Just F...... Do It.

Ah! I was thinking from context it was some legislation

There is a compressed air hazard sign, that might be more meaningful than a generic compressed gas sign.

Some folk just look for things to worry about. As above!

You need a magnetic or stick on warning label which is a green diamond with a bottle icon on it, this will have "compressed gas" and a "2" at the bottom. It is an offence not to show this if compressed gas is being carried in the vehicle. It is advisable to have one on the front door of your home or the room in which the bottle is kept. I'd advise magnetic because if you do want to become one of the " just do it" brigade then you can remove it before going through road tunnels, which is also an offence without an escort.

A Firearm enquiry officer once suggested it could invalidate my motor insurance...

MUST be TRUE then.

After all, anything that just might be agin the law is DEFINITELY against the law if airgunners are involved.

Actually he might be correct. It depends on what an insurance company considers is a "material fact" and how it affects their underwriting perspective.

It may affect your home, motor and business insurances so if in doubt, declare and get a ref number and record date and time etc.

Just describe it as a scuba tank used for surface air only. Most of the peeps you will talk to will know what scuba is but wont understand the damage a 230 or 300 bar will do if it goes pop so it should be simple.

Re OP original... if your transporting tie it down for worst case such as the car rolling. Display a sticker .... if I was emergency services, and the car is on fire, I would like to know what I am up against. Not to do so may not breach laws or regs but its pretty damned stupid and selfish to endanger peoples lives in the execution of their job.
