I'm thinking they still don't have a pump. The one time I dropped it off in the morning to fill, they said it would be late afternoon before it would be ready. When I picked it up, the math on the bill equaled 8 lbs. of contents and not 10.

You can get the full 10 lbs. in there using the freezing the bottle method, as that is the way I'm doing it. Actually the first time I filled mine, it was about 3/4 lbs. overcharged according to my refrigerant scale.

My process takes about 3 hours to fill the bottle. It's pretty slow since I'm only using a 1/4' line.
