How do you propose to get it refilled?

Most refills are on account only, if you have a contact who can exchange an empty for a full through their account thats great but you must get the correct brand of bottle for the account, eg. you can't usually exchange a BOC Bottle on an air products account.

A "friend" (not me of course cos I'm dead honest) could only get an argoshield bottle (argon C02 mix) and resprayed it turquoise then got it exchanged.

The bottles are all the same it's just the gas in them and hence the colour coding that is different

So you just want an empty gas bottle of any description not specific to any supplier?


dave r - 18/11/07 at 08:51 AM

yes

If you just want any gas bottle check out your local pikey site theres bound to be some.


dave r - 18/11/07 at 02:55 PM

but it needs to have the same thread as a large arong bottle... pikeys tend to knock them off for scrap !

Whereabouts are you? Put your location, even just the county in your profile.You could be anywhere, how far would you travel for one etc.


dave r - 18/11/07 at 04:23 PM

first message says i am in northants.... isnt that a county????

O.K being as no one else as asked yet and we are all dieing to know,What do you want it for.


dave r - 18/11/07 at 06:30 PM

that knowledge will be for the person that has one for me... trust me you dont realy want to know ;p


Peteff - 18/11/07 at 06:46 PM

No it's a Shire . I have two empty ar/co2 bottles. You can have one for £10 same as they cost me. They are not BOC or air products. They are very heavy and scruffy so would need a van or trailer to fetch one in.
edit:- If it's to make a big pipe bomb you can't tell where you got it from.
