i'm not sure if there's any legal requirement or even if there's an
established protocol but at my store in se florida we won't fill any tank
that either has no burst disc or a disc assembly we know to have been
tampered with - double discs etc.
i have always been under the impression (quite possibly wrongly)  that the
burst disc was a dot requirement and that therefore it would be unwise if
not a violation to fill a tank without one.
since i've yet to hear of a diver being killed by a tail failure but every
year hear of a number of dive store fill techs dying that way most dive
stores now are becoming very wary of doing anything less than right.
i'd be very interested to hear if there is in fact any legal requirement as
regards the burst disc issue
