EMS usually looks for the placard on the outside of the vehicle for compressed gas indicators when deciding whether to approach an accident scene or not. Once they're close enough to see the sticker, I can't imagine that they would take time to differentiate between nitrox/air/helium, etc. Unless the vehicle was on fire, I doubt they'd care what you were carrying in scuba tanks. If it was on fire, well..... -----Original Message----- From: Dave w Pratt [mailto:scubadave@ju*.co*] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 9:36 AM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Nitrox Sticker "The only federal laws regarding tanks are those concerning their 5 year testing and rules regarding transportation of hazardous materials over public roads" My local shop said that DOT regs. require the sticker because if I were in a car accident with my tanks in the car that emerg. crews would know what they were dealing with in my scuba tanks. I live in FL, and would rather not have any stickers (trapping salt water etc.) and having Trimix in a Nitrox labeled tank etc. Thanks, Dave -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
