Does anyone have a simple diagram, parts list, and list of parts 
suppliers for this type of a setup?  

I wanted to set up a simple, single tank O2 station to mix my own 
Nitrox.  I figured it would be a simple enough task.  I started asking 
around for where to get parts.  Someone offered to put together a 
turn-key system for me, complete with bottle and plumbing.  Later, he 
told me it would run about $1400!!!  Holy SHIT!  FOURTEEN HUNDRED BUCKS 
for a used cylinder and some plumbing?!?  I think he was also going to 
add a second filter for when I topped off the tanks with air which I 
didn't ask for or need.

If I can find a simple diagram for this, I can put it all together.  I 
just want to make sure I do it right and don't end of burning down the 
back of the garage.  

Btw, I realize that a single tank setup won't be the most efficient use 
of O2.  But, for now, the cost savings is well worth it.  Right now, I 
am paying $12-15 per fill depending on the mix.

Peace,
Steven
