Hydrocarbons or some other contaminent that somehow gets injected under high pressure. One thing that gets lost in all of this discussion is that "you guys" (meaning those who want a fill) feel "we guys" (meaning shops) are being unfair and screwing you out of a fill you deserve. But when things go wrong and tanks explode, it's usually dive shop employees that end up getting killed. So we tend to see the stakes as being a lot higher and the issues a bit broader than just "give me a fill." And much as we all try to please everyone, we'd much rather err on the side of caution, even if that means we inconvenience some of our customers. Ken Kurtis |
