Hi, I have a BOC diamond regulator that I had for my Argoshield, but haven't used it for 25 years and assume it ought to be replaced? Could it still be OK as I would imagine time is the enemy rather than usage?
Given the old school nature of my regulator compared to everything being made in China these days, is this worth hanging onto - I saw that BOC will service them & wondered whether that is cost-effective & if anywhere else will service regulators?
Secondly, people mention the pressure of cylinders but I can't quite work out how that matters: is it not the volume of the gas eg 1.4m3 that is most important, or does the cylinder become unusable at a certain pressure & you lose a greater proportion of the gas?
Many thanks
