I think you are confusing (or I am misunderstanding) the difference between a
"contents tag of sticker" verses proper tank labeling, which both of course
are needed. All my tanks are clearly marked as Nitrox, oxygen, Deco gas,
argon, etc. As for the contents tag of sticker, I have no problem with duct
tape or whatever to indicate that actual percentage of gas, etc. But you make
(made) it sound like the only labeling on a tank is the tape, which is not
true, and you know that. Harvey on the other hand, I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN with
UNLABELED tanks.

If ALL you are using on your boat to identify Nitrox and oxygen cylinders is
masking tape, its time to correct that -- but I do not think that is the case.
Lets be specific, tank labeling is proper permanent labels.

Bad practices of the past must not continue into the future-we both know that.
Now lets FIX the problem.

Safe diving, Bob
