<html> If you insert this sucker and open the valve it would save all of the gas in the tank.<br> <br> The downside being that you may never get to use the 'saved' gas - that plug is not coming out without a major protest - have you ever tried to unscrew a DIN with the valve on?. The threads are jam locked with the pressure.<br> <br> If you are dumb enough to use a wrench (and risk stuffing the tank thread in the process, they are mostly brass remember), then you have a hell of a 'Gas Gun'- I figure that it would need a licence for it here in the UK !<br> <br> PRC.<br> <br> <br> At 01:05 24/05/2001 -0400, you wrote:<br> Hi Guys,<br> <br> I came across this "new fangled" product, a stainless steel plug to go in a <br> FULL scuba tank's DIN valve.
