Didn't manage to dive, but went online to order a new 15L cylinder.
I spent most of Saturday in the car driving between the local LDS (in Luxembourg) and the nearest in France, about an hour away. The Luxembourg LDS will fill (and can VIP / Hydro) a French cylinder, but the French won't fill (nor inspect) a Luxembourg cylinder. Neither will the Luxembourg LDS sell a French cylinder. All because the French insist that cylinders meet the EN specification AND the NF specification.
Anyway, I didn't find the cylinder I wanted so I ended up going online to get a great deal. It should be delivered later this week and I hope to try it out in the next week or two.

Actually, the French have the test date and expiry (and this can be a sticker on the tank) whilst Luxembourg follows the German system with the test expiry date stamped on the cylinder (and the German tanks have to be stamped DIN EN XXX rather than NF EN XXX).
