Subject: Re: AL tanks, O2, and saltwater

     I would think that the salt water and whatever it produces when in 
     contact with aluminum, would have to be inside the tank along with the 
     O2 in order for this to be of any consequence. Now, if you are in a 
     salt water lake at 10,000 foot elevation....Ka BOOOOOM!!!!! That 
     altitude will get you every time. - Tony

A friend of Dick Boyd called last night trying to find out about a DOT 
warning regarding aluminum tanks used for O2 in saltwater. Had something to 
do with whatever is the result of aluminum reacting with salt producing a 
substance that was quite combustible. Any help would be appreciated.
