    I have a 4ltr 300bar in pristine condition. Took it for test and refill to be told "can't touch it mate"
    The reason being that it has the pye symbol stamped on it.
    So be careful where you buy.

    Out of interest, what is the significance of the pye symbol ?

    I was told that it means the bottle wasn't galvanised before painting.
    Might be bullshoyte but have no second opinion, so far.

    Very annoying as I had to buy a new 3ltr bottle.
    I have my own wind pump now and two 12ltr 300bar bottles to sell, both full -1 with 5 years and 1 with 14 months.
    I should have decanted a 12ltre into the 4 ltre before retesting, then just top up as required with the new pump.
