There is some siliness here about disks. The fact is that the o-ring in
the neck of a scuba tank goes with or without a burst disk. Thes disks
are a vestigal throwback to the days of pipe threaded cylinders that had
teflon tape or gunk on them, not the current o-ring bottles. O-ring
bottles do not need burst disks, so we block them with shim nmaterial.
