Subject: TRANSFILLING OF EMPTY O2 CYLINDER
I am transfilling O2 tanks at work and occasionally we get a empty
cylinder come back for filling with the valve left open. We have a
suction unit in the transfilling system to remove any residual O2 before
filling.They seem to feel that this suction will remove contaminants
from a  empty tank.

I have been refusing to fill any tank that comes back empty due to
possible contamination.

I would appreciate any collaboration I can get on this matter outlining
the sources of contamination and consequences involved. I am asking for
help in this matter because as of now i am just one lone voice and I
know you can explain the reasons more technically and eloquently than I
