While waiting for my tanks to be filled today (the [tagna*] put 50 bar too=
=20
much air in one of them while he [halik*] some other customer's [pwet*].=20
This is the last time I don't stand by the compressor while my pots are=20
filled), I leafed trough the TUSA store catalog, and sumbled upon what could=
=20
prove to be a real *GOOD THING*.
I'm currently setting up a pony tank for myself. I've got the tank, the=20
valve, all I need is a reg and means to mount it. No rush, because I'm flat=
=20
broke.
The *GOOD THING*, or at least, I think it is one, is a tiny pressure gauge.=
=20
"Pony gauge" it's called, I think. It is a very tiny pressure gauge that=20
screws into the HP port, reminiscent of a fire extinguisher gauge, but=20
obviously more rugged. It looks like a short stubby bolt with a largeish=20
head, inside which the gauge is. The thing looks rugged enough; presumably,=
=20
it could withstand normal SCUBA gear use.
Anybody got more info about it?=20
Ever used one?=20
Seen one?=20
Better yet: ever seen/heard of one fail during a dive or before or after?
Are most probable non-leak failures immediately detectable on the gauge's=
face?
Could this be the best thing since the old Scubapro=
valves-with-gauges-in-them?
Oh, yes, the price is $52 Canadian, in Montr=E9al, which is not too=
expensive,=20
considering the typical diveshop markup around here.
Thanks.

those who are fluent in Tagalog)...

I prefer to give a bit of my liberty to an elected government=20
rather than to unaccountable corporations.
