Oh shit, maybe I need to change the o-rings in my oxygen tanks. Should I do
it 
now or in another five years. How about my regs? Now or in three more years. 
come on, quit the bullshit. Do this as long as I have an maybe you will wear 
something out , or even blow something up, but it will not be for the reasons 
you think. 

   Oxygen cleaing and viton o-rings are complete and utter bullshit.
