Bill Pilicer asked for some information regarding preping a tank for O2
/EANx service...follow directions on simple green, boiling water,
contaminants do glow under ultra violet, drain, forced heated air, use a
q-tip to see if any crap is left. BUT>>>>>

Bill, don't forget you gotta disassemble the valve and prep it too!
Similar technique, use O2 compatible lub, Viton O-rings (or equiv.).

Suggest you find someone locally who knows what they are doing, sit and
watch them, do it a couple of times with them as coach.

How often should a tank be cleaned....under ideal situation, when its
VIPed... in real life, if you wanna be safe, couple of times a year, and
certainly if you think it's been contaminated with <greasy air>.

This of course brings up the "How do I know I am buying O2 Compatible
Air" discussion...I'm ducking now!
