Oxygen needed

[grandsire02]

I bought a second-hand Portaflame MAPP/Oxygen welding set some time ago, and now need to get the oxygen bottle refilled. Can anyone tell me where I can get this done (I live in Maidstone, Kent).

did it come with any documentation ?

Companies like BOC/Airproducts who rent cylinders will only fill their own, and only if you have a contract. An independent supplier will probably be more willing.

From what I recall though on O2 cylinders (and this is from diving mind you), is they need to be "in test", and a test certificate lasts for about 5 years. Its only 2 and a half for diving gas tanks, but I think our medical O2 kit is 5. If your tank isn't in test, you probably won't find anyone to fill it.

i dont know if this applies to mapp / 0xy cylinders though ?

Is it one of these ?

If it is try here although I think the bottles are disposable.
