edr Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I am new to pcp rifles, any advice on carrying a 300bar cylinder in the back of the car. Are there any legal requirements, advice, restrictions etc. Thanks EDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 No legal restrictions to worry about. I would try to make sure it doesn't roll about too much, and like anything you should be aware of what might happen in a crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjobill Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 carrying them can invalidate insurance you need business insurance BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I would have thought you should legally display one of these (the number refers to the flammability of the gas) (removable magnetic ones are available) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moz Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Only legal requirements are if used for business purpose. Just try to stop it from rolling around, 300 bar just needs a little respect. No need for stickers (although no harm either) Or changing any insurance details. I often have a bootfull of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 The sticker\sucker type is a good idea. I haven't carried a cylinder for a few years but the notice is always there.... Why? nobody can legally clamp you as it's an explosion risk if there is a fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Domestic carriage of dangerous goods does not fall withing ADR so there are no requirements. The irony of this was mentioned on my last refresher course I can carry allsorts of hazardous goods in my car but if I transfer them to my work truck I have to follow the regs. Sensible precaution is to restrain (tie down) the cylinder and especially to protect the valve which is the most vulnerable part of the cylinder and can cause problems if damaged (not as bad as this however) name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali-C Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 No legal requirements, but a green sticker is a good idea, especially if you are, god forbid, in a crash etc. It is also a good idea to make up a rack, nails, 2x4 and ratchet straps will do, just to stop them rolling about and getting damaged, or again, flying about if you do manage to crash.
