Can you get 300 bar fills in Vancouver, or indeed in Canada?

[Tassie_Rohan]

Hi there - I may be moving from Australia to Vancouver for work.

Just curious if any shops offer 300 bar fills, or even if 300 bar tanks are recognized or certified by TC/DOT?

Also - Can my collection of 232 bar Faber tanks with ISO 9809-01 certification be filled by commercial operations in Canada or the States? I was assuming not, but I've seen some articles that suggest North American filling stations may be able to fill ISO certified tanks?

Cheers,
Rohan.

1) There are no 300bar fill stations, 3500psi is as high as they go. (expect a mix of metric and imperial values in Canada)
2) ISO tanks do not meet TC guidelines, sell them in Oz unless dual stamped in TC. You need TC stamped tanks.
3) Very old pre-TC US DOT stamped tanks are also technically reciprocally legal in Canada, but good luck getting them filled.
