Andy, the OMS suffers from some of the same problems as the Genesis - face 
o-rings, lack of adjustability. I never got any furhter than that in looking at 
one. To make a genesis manifold, you turn down the thread on the tank valve 
portion. These things are made of what is commonly referred to as "machineable" 
brass, a soft metal, but adequate for the task. Dive Rite is just trying to
make 
a buck, and I can not blame them. In fact, they make a far better manifold than 
Sherwood, and I am glad to see them take market share away from somebady who
was 
trying to create a forced-buy situation of a piece of shit. Dive Rite could see 
that and luckily stepped in with a good replacement. The tanks still are 
useless. you can maek an oxyegn bottle out of them, they do have the right 
buoyancy for that, but they rust so easily, Why are we still dsicussing 
something that is obviously completely wrong in the first place.

   How about we go back to the bulldozer thing. I want to level my yard. Can 
anybody who owns genesis tanks tell me how to convert my car to a bulldozer? KI 
realize I should have bought a bulldozer, but somebady convinced me that my car 
was just as good as a bulldozer. I used to mow my fornt lwan with my pcikup 
truck, but that was easy - I just towed gang wheels. This is a little trickier
- 
any suggestions? Should I have just bought a lawnmower instead?-G
