You might be saving them a few moments of spannering by removing it, it needs to be removed to put their filling equipment on to the A clamp or screw into the 232/300 bar female fitting
I have always had springers in the 80s and when I moved to PCP last year I used to fill using a Hills hand pump, I now have a divers tank which needs filling, so do I remove the whip or leave it on when taking it for filling?

Thanks Clipper, I will remove it then
Remove everything after the actual cylinder valve except the blanking plug to keep the threads clean, which should be on a lanyard to stop it going walkabout.
If you get a brass or steel blanking plug then you can test the fill pressure, before you leave the shop, assuming you have a surface valve with gauge & bleed screw.
