  Greg, thanks for the info. BTW, the valve comes off at about 10 grand. The 
only reasons I do not fill them to more than 35 or 36 is that the gas does not 
compress linearly, and the regs are just subject to failure at the higher 
pressures. I try to keep it to 33 or 34 in the water, cooled down.- G
