You check it's contents by weighing it.
There should be the empty cylinder weight stamped somewhere either on the cylinder or a metal collar. You take the cylinder weight away from the actual measured weight and it will give you some idea of how much is left.
Alternative swish the cylinder around to see if there's any left in it. Most dealers will take their own empty cylinders back, replace them with a full one or you can take it to your local recycling centre. I've never had any trouble taking really old ones back, even those I had on the boat which grew quite a lot of rust on them due to the salty environment. Most suppliers will test and clean them after 10 years anyway.

Anyway - that's irrelevant - do you recall actually paying a deposit on the cylinder?

Yes - I recall the conversation about "I should charge you £XX but, go on, I'll make it £YY". The problem is - I can't remember what XX or YY was.
