I have had great experiences with BestfittingsUK buying pcp air fittings and a 500cc buddy bottle called the Daytripper from these guys. They make or get some real high quality stuff. In fact when you buy fittings from high end gun shops most are Bestfittings adapters. Anyway I’m wanting to buy a 6.8 liter bottle from them. They have a kit for 299 pounds. How would you guys go about testing them every five years ?

Are they DOT approved ?
Some bottles have EUROPEAN specification certification and if taking said bottles to a commercial filling station / business here in the USA, they may not fill them for you
We have some really AA+ suppliers of HPA tanks & fittings etc here stateside, see no reason to go overseas for one. If cheaper ask why ?

Ditto on the caution for the certifications on the tank. If it's not a DOT certified tank, you won't be able to get it tested or filled anywhere in the USA.

Do you fill your own tank? If so get whatever you want, acecare make excellent tanks also. If not get a DOT certified one. I'll probably get an acecare in that 6.8l size in a couple years.

Like said what's wrong with acecare for a large tank if you fill your own tank it's like half the price of what we have here in the states and it European certified which from what I've heard is supposed to be good I don't know and is why I'm asking thanks for any info

Just go to -

Here in SoCal.
or -
https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/air-cylinders/
or -
https://utahairguns.com/air-supplies/air-tanks/
Or probably many other places in the good ol US. No need to go clear across the "pond" and pay enormous shipping costs, and take chances on damage.
