John, Novel idea. Supply a good product at a reasonable price and get lots of return customers;-) This particular shop is very conveniently located near Peacock, so I guess that is their reasoning - pay for convenience. I don't quite understand the surcharge for using your own O2 though. Seems like I'm paying for air, it's not quite the same as taking a steak into a restaurant and asking them to cook it for you. Actually, I'd never do that anyway, I'd just bury it in a shallow grave out back. Those membrane systems are costly. Sure can buy a lot of K cylinders for what you'd spend for one. In contrast, the last time I was in WPB Nitrox fills were $5, air was $3, but they were doing partial pressure fills. That's a long drive up to Peacock, though. Even at $3-$5 surcharge per fill, it would still beat the price they want for a Nitrox fill. Even at say..... $8 to fill a set of doubles and add the surcharge. Still beats the $25. What they will end up with here is a lot of people bringing in their cylinders and not telling them what is in them. That will cause a potentially bad situation. Nobody likes to be mugged at the fill station, but it's their shop. I guess it's either pay it or go somewhere else. Sounds like a good argument to drag along another set of tanks to avoid getting a fill there.
