Wouldn't proper maintenance of valves make removing burst disks unnecessary? And wasn't it not too long ago that in Florida a tank was being filled and exploded because the burst disk was plugged? I believe the attendant was killed also. Maybe the tank shouldn't have been overfilled, but we all know THAT happens all the time. So George's advice to all the new divers on this list is to go out and remove the burst disks from their tanks, because HE is THE EXPERT (self-proclaimed) and that is the RIGHT WAY. That sounds kinda irresponsible to me. How many of the people reading this list are also going to get a set of punches and do their own hydro's, that coupled with non-functioning burst disks ought to be quite explosive! And when some new diver buys a set of tanks from someone doing it George's way, who is going to save him?
