are stoney still refusing to fill unbooted twins

[Chris Bone]

Not been to stoney before but remember people complaining last year that they wouldn't fill unbooted twins is this still the case as I'm off there tomorrow and might have to take my single incase.

Any advice welcome thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,

AFAIA is still boots or secured on a trolley and stripped down of regs/wing.

Safe diving,
Steve

IIRC they don't like them with wing and regs attached but I've never had a problem getting my bootless twins filled there.

They don't usually mind wings as long as there is nothing dangling, i.e crotch strap although I did get a rant about not having nitrox stickers on my stage bottle or my cylinders appropirately labelled. They even said it was illegal, but I only thought you need the appropirate labelling if you were a commercial outfit?

Not sure where you got that impression....which Nitrox course did you do?

O2 stickers are a requirement before any fill higher than 21% O2 from a commercial outfit....regardless.... What you do in your own garage is up to you but take care not to repeat the recent incident where the guy blew up half his house

Cylinders are VIP'ed up which is the requirement and I dont do garage filling just for the record. I know they should be labled, but is it a legal requirement?

When I was at Stoney Cove last Margaret was explaining very patiently to some bloke that she wouldn't be filling his twinset until he removed his wing from it. He was trying to give the "so when did you change the rules then", and she was giving the "its always been the rules", so I can only assume that the younger lads in there will sometimes fill them if its quiet, but Margaret won't at any time (probably because she has to set the example)

Quite simply, make sure you remove regs and wing, and if possible strap it to a trolley and I *think* you will be OK.
Why not ring Stoney for the definitive answer ?

(Your twinset may vary )

I think it's the other way round. It's a requirement on the Filling station that they don't put O2 above 21% in a cylinder without the appropriate stickers and the tanks are in test etc etc etc

That sounds more appropirate
