lubricant bottle

Guys a while ago our mechanic at work was using a metal lubricant bottle that he filled from a 5L bottle of penetrating fluid and then hooked the airline up to his alluminium bottle and gave it 2 or 3 psi and that was it ready for use and it lasted him a week before it needed another regas!

I cant find a similar thing on the net anywhere and he does not work here anymore for me to ask where he got it from.

Any clues?
Cheers

Ive got one of them , they used to be sold as refillable aerosols for paint etc and could be filled with air or co2 from a sparklet type capsule. There are a few similar on the web but they seem to be about £50 so not cheap.
Try a search for rechargeable or refillable aerosol.

I worked for a historic F1 team that had these. I didn't really pay much attention to them as i didn't need them.
From what i can remember they are illegal in the UK due to somewhat resembling a bomb.

I'm not sure how true it is as the person who told me was a bit of a tool.
