Subject: Re: Steel cylinder internal rust

Perhaps someone could clear up a rumor/myth I've heard. Is it
true that the inside of a steel tank can be swabbed or coated
with oxygen compatible grease to prevent rust?
Thanks,

Don,

Jeesh, where do they come up with this HS?

Ever heard of lipoid pneumonia?

For every action, there is a reaction  Microscopic particles of
the O2 compatible grease will become one with the gas supply
whereupon you'll be continually coating the interior of your
lungs/alveoli much the same way as the cylinder.  At least your
lungs wont rust too!

Do Not Do This Dumb Crap  Unless you are ready to stop diving
and live with respiratory problems.

Regards,

Jer
