    Painting tanks?

    Soda blast it then coat it with POR-15 and the POR-15 top coat to protect it from the UV, I use this paint on parts for my LOCOST Super 7 and the stuff is simply awesome :D

    current vip but expired hydro- will they still be filled

    Very true, especially when you consider the fact that other tank monkey's may not be heading the sticker that says O2 safe air on the tank and the possibility of someone using a personal compressor that is not equipped with the correct filters to produce O2 safe air.

    current vip but expired hydro- will they still be filled

    It certainly does when you consider that we O2 clean the tanks when they get VIP'ed at our shop, I also will give them a rinse out with tank wash anytime the valve is removed from the tank ;)

    current vip but expired hydro- will they still be filled

    I check the hydro dates for the tanks I fill at the LDS where I work, IF I know the tank (see it often) and I have already checked the hydro then I just fill it so long as it's good. However I will not fill nitrox on a tank that has an expired visual because of the fact that we partial pressure...

    Mechanical Serperator ?'s

    Jim, I'll give you a call when I get to the shop today. The line you are talking about is there it was removed for cleaning when the picture was taken, the previous owner of the unit had been running peanut oil in the compressor and I wanted to get rid of as much as I could from the system...

    Mechanical Serperator ?'s

    I have the priority valve for after the filter and the check valve for the inlet side of the tower. I'll try to send the photos in an email but they were taken on my phone and they are stored online Here This unit will be going into a trailer we tow with us on dive trips and we might put a 2...

    Mechanical Serperator ?'s

    I am putting together a portable compressor for my LDS that I do some part time work for and I need some advice on whether or not it should have a mechanical separator or not. I am also curious if there is something else I can use instead of a mechanical separator that will do the same job...

    Wrenches?

    If your'e keen on not leaving any real noticeable marks on your reg/ hose fittings then just buy some AN style anodized aluminum wrenches, I have a set for SS hose fittings on my LOCOST and I can use them for the brake lines too. Don't make the same mistake I did and buy a cheap set only to find...

    Dumbest things you've seen a newbie diver do

    I got flooded out in a dry suit in 43 degree water because of a wrist seal that I did not notice while checking the suit out pre-dive, I managed to complete the dive even with the profuse leak in the borrowed dry suit. however it did become much less fun when the cold arse water got to my crotch...

    You will die if your Statistics professor finds out the real reason you weren't in class :D

    You will die if you eat taco bell before a dive and don't release the pressure before ascent......

    What shop equipment do you DIY guys have?

    I agree, I discovered this shortly after acquiring my mill and the lathe. My locost chassis is on a big table with casters although I still haven't built a rolling cart for the mill yet....

    What shop equipment do you DIY guys have?

    Which Hydro set up do you have on your bender? I have the 105 and I'm just about done with my air/hydro conversion for it.
