My built-in Composite O2 cylinder is past its life (15yrs) and I need to replace it. In my research I found that a replacement (77cuft) Avox cylinder (which is OEM) would cost around 2.000€ Plus tax....not to mention servicing of the regulator (for which they wanted another 2.000€), filling and shipping.....I then discovered that Aerox do a PMA cylinder and I found a distributor in Bordeaux who will replace the cylinder, service the regulator (barring any major repairs) for around 1.800€ (Not including shipping to/from France)....seems a no-brainier to me! What have other people experienced?

HI. I have the same situation soon and I am looking for a service station. An internet research was not successfull for Europe. What had been your experience? How did You solve this?
