Rearming kit on L.J.

Do you need to replace the whole kit or do gas bottles have an expiry date too. Checked the bottles and can't find an expiry date on them so I presume that as long as the bottles are not damaged in any way they are still good to use.

Gas bottle gets inspected (yours is good) and weighed. There will be a weight stamped on it. Kitchen scales will suffice. It must NOT weigh less than the stamped weight.
