Quick question re fire extinguishers if I can please.....
So first off, I've used CO2 but will be doing in my new 200 litre tank. Right now I have a full 2kg fire extinguishers (out of date) that I was given but I've been looking into what to do once this is empty. Looking on Ebay there is a place not far from me that sell the same extinguishers (again out of date) for £12 each, which seems reasonable. The question is though, what do people do with the empty ones? I'm guessing they cannot be refilled, without some sort of test, which is probably expensive. Is it false economy and or a lot of messing around to buy an out of date one? Or should I buy one that is in within its service life and try and get this refilled instead?
Thanks
