Tim,

Now some questions for you. What procedures are you using for filling
tanks and labeling them before they leave the shop?  Are you batch
procesing a lot of tanks for one person who then distributes them to all
thier friends (trained or not)?

Since we do not maintain a retail outlet, we only do training and
expeditions, we will only fill for our clients when under a training
program.  So we know where the gas goes.
