Subject: Re: NITROX filling cost
Cc: techdiver@terra.net
Regular fills cost $3.  I spend about $6-7 per nitrox fill (32-50% O2) for
80 ft2 (~11.0 L2).

Can cost as much as $10-12 per fill for 80-100% O2 for 80ft2 3000 psi
cylinder filled to 2600psi.

Hope that helps,  John (I used to live in Waterloo and Rhode St Genese for
12 yrs)
