Hi, Chris.

The answer to your question is very simple: Don't have dedicated 
cylinders. Nobody but strokes does that over here in US. The exception is 
some stage divers, who have the MOD permanently printed on their stage 
bottles.

What is the point in dedicated cylinders? Some say it's to avoid 
"unclean" air getting pumped into "clean" cylinders. Why would anyone 
want to breath unclean air to begin with? It's a mystery to me.

By the way, my condolences on your TDI rating. Are you shifting over to 
IANTD like everybody else?

   Jim
