Mark,

If you have a Firebottle brand system, they will refill it. Their FR-36 is the environmently friendly replacement for HALON and is on the SFI list of approved extinguishing agents. I sent mine to them through the post office as UPS and FedEx said I needed a HazMat permit to send the empty bottle.

Mark did you ever find some one to fill your halon bottle.I have a 5 pound Simpson bottle that I would like to get refilled.

Jim,

I ended up calling "Fire Bottle Racing" as mentioned in Bob VanDyke's post
and was informed that my bottle was too old to refill, so I purchased a new
bottle from them. Give them a call and they'll let you know your options!
Good luck!

I have a fully charged bottle that I will sell for $100.00.

I am stuck in NY with cancelled flights and will not be home in VA until later this week. It is the normal size bottle (not the fat short one).

Transatlantic will fill most bottles. The problem is they can't ship a filled bottle. You will have to make arrangements to have someone pick it up for you. I had a 5lbs. Lifeline filled before the Run-Off's for $135.
