William,

Like said, I don't gas blend.  I know about the hydrocarbons (sp?) and
all, I just don't know what the shops do when they clean a cylinder.  I
didn't know a precursor to doing decompression diving was knowing what
substances are used in the O2 cleaning process.  I've never gas blended
before or do I intend to in the future.  I'll stick to determining my
mixture and analyzing it to ensure it's what I ordered.

Safe diving,
Art.
