Fx Carbon Bottle Hydro

[Skydivingmiami]

I just got a fx crown and I see that there's a date the carbon bottle needs to be hydrotested. Has anyone had an fx carbon bottle tested? Just curious. 



I see they can be unscrewed and replaced. So it should be easy to send in to fx.

Carbon fiber bottles extrude the resin at 18000psi.

Taking cyclic # & age. Add in hydro of 7-11Kpsi meniscus rise. 
Same non DOT bottles in Europe are good for 30 years.

If it makes you feel better pay them to hydro it. Or just buy a new one for $114 on EBay and put your FX valve in it.

The test, & shipping will cost more than the $114- $144.00 ones. It's up to you.

Are you hand pumping or using a compressor that doesn't have a filter?

Im using a F10 Shoebox with 2 filters 1 on the input and 1 on the output, I fill my guppy then I use the guppy to fill my guns.

I bet more than 99% don't.
