Also the regulator fits directly to the tank, so the risk is so minimal. It comes down to our own personal experiences and comfort level. If I have a leak, the alarm will scream before the pressure is an issue. If you are real concerned about over pressures, pick up a small 12 v compressor and plumb it into a small tank to get rid of the pressure. That is one of the benefits of Gamma's internal HP compressor.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><SPAN>Hank</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><BR><BR></DIV><DIV style="display: block;"> <DIV style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <DIV style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <DIV dir="ltr"><FONT face="Arial" size="2"> On Sunday, May 7, 2017 11:33 AM, hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<A href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</A>> wrote:<BR></FONT></DIV> <BR><BR> <DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><DIV>Hi All,</DIV><DIV dir="ltr">I have purchased a few new medical O2 bottles for Elementary 3000.

discussion. I will have internal O2 supply and I admit I had some reservations because the big guys don't do that. Then! this morning I was watching a show on TV about a Saudi Prince flying around in his beautiful two seater glider. Low and behold, there it was, behind the pilot, a O2 bottle. If airplanes can carry O2 tanks inside the plane, why not a submarine? </DIV><DIV dir="ltr">Hank</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>_______________________________________________<BR>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</A><BR><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</A><BR><BR><BR></DIV> </DIV> </DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><SPAN>_______________________________________________</SPAN><BR><SPAN>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</SPAN><BR><SPAN><A href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</A></SPAN><BR><SPAN><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</A></SPAN><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></P><P style="margin-top: 2.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid;"><PRE></PRE></P><HR><BR>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<BR>Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org<BR><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</A><BR>_______________________________________________
