Subject: Stainless steel DIN plugs
<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

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. But I'm not so sure that it's not simply a
real <br>
problem just waiting to happen.<br>
