Questions:
1. What is the longest that should a full tank be stored before a dive?
2. Does storing the tank full for a longer duration (1 - 3 months) cause tank stress that could lead to tank failure, and can the air go bad making it dangerous or unpleasant?
Since the VIP expires after 1 year, lets assume that the storage will be less than that.
I have an area that I store all of my scuba gear including tanks that is safe from kids, temperature changes, etc. I live in an area that diving is not readily available and it is kind of inconvenient to get a fill the day before or the day of a dive which requires storage.
Any thoughts on this?
