The commercial suppliers around here will not fill a breathing air bottle with
a mixture that will not support life.  I do my own fills.  Also, our local
dive shop is set up to do argon fills.

     Curt,

     What I don't understand is how to fill my argon pony from a commercial 
     source (assuming that the pony has a scuba block, and the argon 
     supplier has a bank of argon bottles with a CGA 580 connector).  Will 
     a supplier fill a tank with a non standard valve, or will that violate 
     their CGA standards?  Have you found that gas suppliers have the 
     necessary yolk (or DIN) adapter to put an exotic gas into a scuba pony 
     tank? 

     Andy Cohen
