no disagreements from me on that.however,it takes time to do so.i change
my o-rings every 6 months anyway so its a moot point.the issue is o2
cleaning to avoid combustion,not degradation due to vulcanization.the
pontificating agencies want you to believe that you must o2 clean everything
or youll explode and die.this is just not true.some are worse then others (i
hear andi requires o2 cleaning for anything in excess of 24% or some horse
pucky like that). - john todd
