But do you not have to be able to check the cylinders to fufill the aim of this thing?

I bloody hope not...!!!

We are not mechanically minded, we don't design install or maintain any part of the gas side of it. Our input stops at the solenoid and pressure switches !

We've never been trained to service a cylinder and we wouldn't be confident or competent - we leave that to G8 - our BAFE and F-gas accredited sub-contractor.

Hence my argument with these people that there's no point in us being F gassed up !

Ah,ha - elementary my Dear Watson,my point exactly.Thats my whole take of the actual DEPRA guidence notes and my arguement to the customer that I get an approved sub in (as you do) to check the cylinder,the pressure guage and the pressure switch.
Has this been raised on the "other side " yet??I have stopped going there because it's getting harder to find than a married mother in a council estate!

I don't know.... are they still alive ?

I thought they were just urban legend.....!!

Have heard unconfirmed reports but will ask Wiz or AnthonyB - the address keeps changing that often!

So is where I posted not the proper place any more ???

Just seen your post last night - it is but I just keep losing it (nothing new there then)!!

Sounds like a plot from Star Trek ... a tear in the space time continuum ??

Could be - I'm waiting for the other me who became a plumber to come along and laugh in my face!!
