Hi Guys, I came across this "new fangled" product, a stainless steel plug to go in a FULL scuba tank's DIN valve. But I'm not so sure that it's not simply a real problem just waiting to happen. <A HREF="http://www.cavediver.com/gulftex/">http://www.cavediver.com/gulftex/ </A> Click on the symbol for the New DIN plugs. What if only a few threads are engaged and the tank is accidentally turned on? Seems like we might have a flying SS DIN plug taking out whatever was in its path. And it seems even worse if somebody accidentally opens and doesn't completely close the valve and then some (now let's take our hats off, stand straight, look concerned and consider this seriously) idiotic shop monkey gets a real long handled wrench to take the plug out ..... Unbe-f**kin'-lievable Take care and dive safe, Scott Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the restraints and scramble up out of the pit. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
