>>Here is a request from a clam, can you tell me WHY a
burst disk is bad.<<

Mark,

I guess they are simply unnecessary. We don't use burst disks in Europe (if some
countries in fact do, somebody please correct me). And tanks aren't exploding
left and right around here. If this indeed happens on occasion, the reason is a
corroded tank, so the burst disk wouldn't help at all.

Pure curiosity: has anyone ever had a burst disk fail underwater? Is it possible
that a burst disk doesn't blow during  filling, then the tank gets really cold
in your trunk, then you jump in relatively warm water ....  and after a minute
or so ... ?
