Yes we do have metric passed in and approved in parliament and we do use Km/ hr on the road as well as liters for gas / petrol or diesel. But because of the US influence we were kept in the dark ages. To be honest it pi55es me off. It should be metric without any debate. Too bad if the Yanks are still a century behind.
As I noted the TC (new Transport Canada) stamps are all metric as of 1993. Finally!! These are also more liberal as far as pressure. To give an example a 2400psi with 10% overfill for the first 5 years only as stated by DOT is also stamped to 180 bars for the life of the tank by TC. So since I'm in Canada I take advantage and go with the 180 bars
Right, your DOT tanks would have no problem with just DOT in Canada because of the proximity, influence, etc. What are BS and EN standards? Are these for Europe? I am still convinced that since a national standard is stamped on the tank, and the tank passed, another standard from a different country should accept or at least consider looking into retesting the tank to meet the local standard.
I would say write to TC and get the whole picture from them. Don’t throw the tanks away.
Another thing that might scare you a bit – do you know that even with the Inspiration RB the 3L tanks are DOT stamped in the US and can only take 160 bars. Here I had seen TC stamp to 180 bars and I know who doesn’t give a ….. and pumps them to 200 bars.
