Where to get N2 tank filled

That photo does not show the required fitting.

Search EuroGA for oxygen fittings.

Fairly obviously you need a hose to fill the tyre, two regulators, and a means of refilling the cylinder.

Jason: Sounds like you found out that if a tyre is 10% down on pressure when it goes for check the tyre is scrap. And the requirement for wheel NDT every few tyre changes. And the fact it takes 2 days for the tyre check due to the leak test……..

Lets just say I am trying to avoid that – not yet been a victim. It is also driven by having to pay for an N2 fillup at Schipol. Any more of those and I will have paid for the system.

Sorry for reviving an old thread. Did you ever find somewhere to top up the cylinder or does the aircraft spruce regulator fit on UK cylinders?

Every secondary school will have a nitrogen cylinder. In later years they were the property of British Oxygen. Not expensive per fill.
In the 60s you had to buy the cylinder, but by 1980 BOx made them their property, rental in the fill cost.

A welding shop made me an adapter out of existing parts and I used the AS regulator on normal welding tanks.

I could´t care less about nitrogen in tires or shocks. Normal air is 80 percent nitrogen and the 20 percent oxygen are no factor for me – or the aircraft. So for servicing the Yak the standard diver compressor is asked for fill-ups in air system pressure of 60 bar in the air bottles and landing gear in several years intervals, no troubles. Vic
