A: We can refill any cylinder of any size with any connection as long as it is within its test period and is EU (PED or TPED) Approved. Any EU approved cylinder will have a " n " mark on it, otherwise known as a pie mark.

Q: Is my Cylinder EU approved?
A: At this time, all cylinders manufactured within the UK and Europe have TPED or PED approval meaning they ARE EU approved. NX and NOS Cylinders are not EU approved as they only conform to DOT standards, and SHOULD NOT be refilled within the EU.
U.S. DOT cylinders we're allowed to be imported into the UK using Multilateral Agreement M125 but clearly stating that they should be re-exported back to the states for re-filling, however as of June 2006 this agreement has now been extended to 2011 and renamed the M180.
