I dont think there need no licences becouse you can buy bottles where is easily 200 bars but I will be pretty expensive optoion becouse fillng compressor pays about 2000euros and thank 100-600 euros :cl:

It's possible that you can get your tanks filled if you live near a place where SCUBA diving is done for recreation. There would most likely be a shop or store where you would pay and they would fill the tank for you so you wouldn't need a compressor. It probably isn't free, so be prepared to pay a fee.
