    Hi all, I can get my hands on a 300bar 12L cylinder. Does it need to be in test for refill for air rifle use. It's a steel tank. Thanks

    around 30 euro for test if you google air tank testing you can get a list of places and get one near you. the last time i got
    one tested was around 8 years ago i sent in by courier . the place where you can get it filled might know or be able to
    get it tested for you.

    The cylinder that I can get has a few numbers stamped on it.
    PS232PT342 bar 18.5kg 15L
    2008/05. All these numbers are stamped on the cylinder. Also the label indicates that it's in test until Dec
    So is this a 232 or 300 bar.
    Any help appreciated

    get it checked out where you are getting it filled looks like you have a 15L 300 bar tank

    The seller tells me its filled. English is not his first language so doesn't rightly know what bar it is. I'll make a few calls tomorrow.

    Turns out its a 232 bar cylinder. The 342 is the test pressure.
