71. (1) No person shall fill any cylinder, or cause or permit any cylinder to be filled, with any dissolved gas unless—
(a) the cylinder is completely filled with a homogeneous porous substance of porosity not exceeding 88 per cent;
(b) without prejudice to sub-paragraph (a), if the cylinder contains a solvent, the solvent—
(i) is not of a kind capable of chemical reaction with the gas in the cylinder, the homogeneous porous substance or the metal of the cylinder; and
(ii) when the cylinder is fully charged, does not completely fill the porosity of the homogeneous porous substance at a temperature of 65°C.
(c) the tare weight is stamped in a conspicuous place on the outside of the cylinder;
(d) the cylinder valve contains not more than 70 per cent of copper in its composition;
