    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.

    I wonder what the recommendations would be from someone like Best Fittings, seeing as the sell tanks and charging equipment.
    Now that I think about it, I may even have seen green cylinder stickers on their stall at the Shooting Show (tho' my memory has been known to play up from time to time)

    Best Fittings are a BUSINESS so they would have to comply with regs that apply to a business.

    Private individuals are a different thing.

    Either way, warbing others there to help would let me sleep nights.

    As another poster mentioned, the awareness that there is a pressurised vessel may make them hold back or go about it in a different was.

    Its a bit of a rock and a hard place.

    No need for a green sticker but it is considered best practice, I've been a diver for over 15 years.
