It all depends on the size of the cylinder your trying to fill .give us a bit more information . And fill out your location mate , because if you are close to me say I could take your bottle and fill it up when I fill mine up .

The number of fills is also dependant on whether you get a 300BAR bottle or a 232BAR one, another factor to consider is, do you get a true dive bottle which has to be tested every two and a half years or a surface air one that is tested every 5 years, perhaps someone at your local club may advise you, or as said previously, someone on here will be only too pleased to help, we're a friendly bunch, just let us know where you are. Good luck on your search.

This is interesting.
If Public Transport doesn't allow you to carry a filled air bottle then it also precludes you from carrying a filled PCP. Unless of course they specify a minimum size.
Anyone know ?

I would look at getting a larger bottle but the problem would be lugging a larger bottle on and off buses
why not get a hand pump and fill from home...
