Creating my own filling station

***schford*** · 1st March 2005, 18:34

Right then my learned fellow divers, tis time to seek your advice...

As my and the mrs's megalodon pickup rapidly approaches tis time to consider how to keep the buggers topped up with O2.

I do like being self reliant so am considering the following...

1 - Jetsam Baby Booster

2 - Ron's Whip Kit

3 - A Nice J of O2

And it is on no 3 I need your advice....

What is the going rate: for a fill, cylinder rental and either delivery or picking it up - I think I should get it in the back of my Cayenne.

Who should I get it off and do you have some contact numbers

Also will obviously move on to getting He too - so If they did that would be great and does any one have any ideas for a cheap compressor of my own!!

Cheers

Stuart

I recently set up an account with Air Products - very quick and simple.

Air Products charges for a J of DIVING GRADE O2 pumped to 200 bar

Gas £36.58
Rental 20p per day (£6 per month approx)
Delivery £27.75 - or collection £10.12

BOC were cheapest, but they told me on the phone that they could only deliver at 137 bar, I've heard since from 2 other people that they now deliver at 200 or 230.

Also, for me, AP depot is nearer and I wanted to collect (cheaper).

I guess can found out contact details and locatiosn from their web sites?

Juz · 1st March 2005, 20:28

I found the websites weak to be honest.

Air Products nuber is 0800 389 0202, ask for Carol Williams, she was very helpful.

Time from First call to having the account completely set up and being able to collect gas was about a week.
