Can anyone on these lists provide me with the name and address/phone
number of a contact at Pressed Steel.

These tanks are not stamped in accordance with the Canadian government's
requirements.  As a result, many shops will not fill them, since by doing
so they are breaking the law and the fines are outrageous.  Even if I can
find someone to fill them, virtually no one will hydro them when the time
comes.  This is not a safety issue, it is a bullshit bureaucratic issue,
but it still means that I can't legally use what this group seems to
believe is the best tank on the market.

I'm hoping to convince someone at Pressed Steel to put the Canadian
marking on them.  I've spoken to Dive Rite, but they don't seem to be able
to influence Pressed Steel.

Any help in providing me with names would be appreciated.
