I've never heard of it happening. Lee, I have never had it occur while diving but I have had the burst disc let loose on two different valves. One valve's disc released on two different occasions (10 years appart). In both cases the tank was in storage for the off season in the house. On neither occasion was the tank exposed to excessive heat. With the second failure I replaced the valve with another I had on hand not wishing to take a chance that there was a bur or some other defect which caused the problem. The other tank developed a slow leak in the disk ( about a week after it had last been filled it had bled down to 1100 psi from 2250). The disk has been replaced and it has been fine ever since (a year). David Dalton -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
