A short comparison on PSI ratings.... Disclaimer: Fill at your own risk, If you refill them, you can't transport them. Here's the link to the law below.... If you buy them NEW, PREFILLED, there's no law against transport. The keyword in the document link below is, "in commerce," so fill and transport gives you the illusion that you can't fill them. But in reality, there's no law against filling them, but only in filling and transporting combined. This doesn't include filling them on site. Disclaimer: This is the way I interpreted the law below. I'm sure they will update the law, one day in the future; this topic is too high profile and controversial. DISCLAIMER, AGAIN: Interpret the law for yourself.
