    Costs for testing a cylinder?

    Hi

    I have been thinking of getting a cylinder in readiness for getting a PCP later in the year. Could a few of you help me with some dumb questions?

    * I was just wondering how much a shop will normally charge to test & certify an air cyclinder?
    * When buying a cylinder is there anything I should look for, in terms of fittings or gauges that aren't compatible with air-gun kit? Or is anything compatible?
    * Do these tanks need any special treatment when being transported? I know the valves shouldn't be knocked but are there any legal requirements for transporting them? I am just thinking of when I take it to be refilled etc.
    * Can they be stored out in a cold/damp garage? I am thinking I'd feel safer with it out of the house and possibly locked down to a work bench or garage wall.



    Also, does it matter whether the cylinder is 300 or 260 BAR?

    Thanks
    ChrisR.
