Chuck-

I would go for a MOD or % written on the top of the tank with a grease 
pencil in 1" high letters. This seems to be the standard with non-moronic 
dive shops.

As far as handling is concerned, it appears that dive shops have taken 
the rules for handling LOX and applied them gaseous O2. Ludicrous. All 
this oxygen clean BS is a joke.

We need to get the voodoo and mystery out of handling O2. I doubt it will 
ever happen though because the marketing people have latched onto 
"02clean" bullshit and are now busyly sucking money out of the wallets of 
the gullible majority out there. And the dive shops are playing right 
along. Follow the money, folks.
