Mayolives Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I need to recharge my Safecraft 5# fire system bottle. I live in SC. Can anyone suggest where I can have this done other that shipping it to the manufacturer in CA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSideways Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I just bought another bottle. I could not find anyone local that had the correct fitting. Who knows if they didn't want to mess with it. Have a fire?? Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayolives Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Alan, No fire thank goodness! Some dumba** inadvertently set off the system while working on the dash area. And man, was that a rush! For the first few seconds, I didn't realize what had happened and sheer terror struck. After which, I knew my wallet had just taken another racin' hit.

Mayolives Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 After several phone calls to fire extinguished specialist, I have discovered that it's very difficult to find someone to refill a Halon type fire bottle. Apparently, the powers that be have decided Halon is destructive to our atmosphere and that production of Halon is no longer allowed. However, it can be recovered, stockpiled and then reused until the current supply is depleted. This sounds way to political for my "pee" brain to understand. Bottom line is that I shipped my bottle back to the manufactured in CA and for the tidy sum of $170.00 they will refill it. Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 That is about what I figured $$$. It comes back via donkey-mail too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
