We will contact you after we receive and inspect your bottle.

Shipping:

What shipping can I choose for my fire bottle? If it has been discharged, you can ship your bottle to us empty via ground, overnight, 2 or 3 day air. Once your bottle is serviced, DOT regulations will not allow the bottle to be on any aircraft. We must return your fire system bottle via ground shipping ONLY.

Return UPS or FedEx Ground shipping.

In Store / Same Day Service:

Fire suppression systems can be dropped off and/or picked from our store in Dawsonville, GA, or any event our trackside support staff is attending. Same day service is available at the Dawsonville store for an additional $50 charge. Same day service is available during normal store hours except Monday and Saturday. Please call ahead for service availability. Trackside vehicles are not equipped for fire suppression service. 

Discharged or Not Discharged:

If your SPA Technique fire system has run out of time and needs to be re-certified, usually this is all you will need to inspect, service, and certify your fire bottle. Please do not discharge your bottle prior to shipping, unless you need to ship expedited to DiscoveryParts for service.

Old Bottles:

The older bottle design with a single weld seam around the middle of the bottle fails the new hydrostatic test about 99% of the time. The newer bottles with a weld seam at each end have a much higher passing rate. If you have an older single-weld bottle, it is likely that the DOT will not allow us to refill it. In most cases, we have new replacement bottles in stock and ready to ship.
