Brianemone Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 have you tried any gun stores?? or people that deal with paintball? m brother just used to go down to the gas bottle filling station to fill up his paintball co2 cartridge. (im not sure if the your bottle have strange fittings or not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 don't BOC gasses do CO2? Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted May 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 they do, but you have to use their bottles which are too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicks Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I dont think Jansens ever had a licence to fill gas bottles and Dupla use a German thread on the bottles so that sucks when trying to get it filled in NZ. probably an OSH thing I think we might be stuck with BOC or Air Liquid. I use BOC costs $9 month rent and 420 for a refill. my botttle lasts for 18months. But dont tell them that when you sign up an agreement Jetskisteve is going to be pissed as he has two dupla bottles!!!!! So the two of you out there who sold him them very recently"ANDWE KNOW WHO YOU ARE" No liverock, cheap frags or other deals ever again.

Pies Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 BOC gasses will fill any bottle as long as its in test. It costs $35 to have the tank tested, including the fill. This MUST be done every 5 years for C02. I have 2, 1 Dupla and 1 other. A C02 bottle is just a bottle, you can use anything (fire extinguisher, dive tank, anything you can find) as long as its been certified. Last time I had one tested it took 3 days for them to get it back to me. Not to much of a hastle. I take them to BOC, they fill as I wait. They do both for $12.00. Last me approx 9 months (the smaller for the freshwater). Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskisteve Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 if only it was that easy . who tests them? i think our local BOC guys were having a bad day when i went in :-? oh pies need yr new email addy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 if only it was that easy. all co2 bottles have to be certified by osh. boc will not fill bottles that dont have a LAB number. i am still waiting for approval by OSH which will be done hopefully this week.

jetskisteve Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 basically depending on which way the wind blows BOC can do whatever the #*&^% they like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Maybee you should be nicer to them When I got my bottles tested BOC did it all for me. They said 'sorry mate, these are out of test so I can't really fill em'. I said 'dood what can I do'. He said get it tested, which they took care of for me, no problem. C02 is not dangerous, its what pubs use to put the fizz in coke. $120 a year for a fish room like Reefs would be fine, one of those tall bottles would last about 5 years without being filled! There are places other than BOC to try, we have ROCK gas here that also do it. Auckland must have several others. Good luck. pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
