If you have a tank that falls under this, take it back to where you got it -

As far as I know, it applies to some ACI, Archon and Mac Dev tanks.

As always, HPA tanks are not something to be taken lightly. These things have literally tons of energy in them when filled, and if mistreated, can be lethal objects.

From 68Cal.com

Pursuit Marketing Inc. (PMI) has been informed by Luxfer Gas Cylinders (Luxfer) that a small number of their composite cylinders which PMI uses in some of the Pure Energy Air Systems may not have been fully tested by Luxfer’s certified third party inspector. The Luxfer cylinders in question would have been sold by PMI or others from June through September 2005. Not all Pure Energy Air Systems utilize the Luxfer cylinder.

All dealers and consumers are requested to read the attached notice from Luxfer and comply with their instructions to determine if a cylinder is part of the small group that requires testing. This inspection will only take a few moments and may be done through Luxfer’s internet site or by calling the provided toll-free number. If you do not feel confident that you can correctly complete this evaluation, please take the Pure Energy Air System in question to a local paintball proshop and ask them to assist in completing this process.

If a cylinder does require testing, Luxfer will provide pre-paid postage for the return of the cylinder. After testing, it will be promptly returned at no charge.


All PMI products are designed and manufactured to be durable, reliable and appropriate for the intended use. PMI is diligent in requiring all that products and vendors comply with all applicable laws or regulations that apply to the Sport of Paintball, including but not limited to ASTM, DOT and CGA standards.

For more information or for further clarification of this notice please contact: Michael Lukas at Pursuit Marketing Inc., 800-334-0502 ext 547 or via e-mail: mlukas@pminetwork.com
