Bugger that! If a shop won't fill them despite the opportunity to earn a buck, I wouldn't want to use them. Too many horror stories around of what happens when they go bang..

| The shops won't fill them because they are shop keepers not trained and qualified cylinder testers as they are at Gas fire and cylinders,If they have tested and passed it they will fill it. ,all legal and safe. |
