Quick question from someone who only has seen a Biomarine rebreather 
(from up close) in a display case:

How do you know it's the O2 solenoid that is stuck open and not the 
diluent's ??? Would they purposely design "injection nozzles" that 
sound/feel differently so you can tell the difference ???

Just curious.
