Subject: Re: Why? - Pony Gauges

Points to consider:
1.  Failure points of a pressure gauge:
        Gauge with hose:        3 o-rings, 1 hose, and the valve.
        Gauge without hose:     1 o-ring, and the valve.
        Plugged high pressure port:     1 o-ring.


Curt,

	Thanks for the obvious oversight!  I wanted a pressure gauge just 
to reasure myself that I know how much longer I would have to breathe off 
it in an emergency!  I did not stop and consider the increased risk of 
eqiupment failure!  Maybe, because the worst thing that has happened to 
me is a broken swivel!!  I will give the use of a pressure gauge some more 
thought!

Aloha 
TONY
