Mike,

BOC will supply cylinders of any gas, any size, for anyone anywhere.(within
reason).

I've a friend who is now in the Rongbuck Valley Tibet having ago at Everest
and he had 33 Poisk cylinders filled with O2 in Delhi  to 390 Bar (no bullshit
390)
and they organised the delivery into Tibet somewhere un pronouncable.

Can't get gas?

Bullshit
