"accidentally" overfilled LP tank - Replace Burst Disc?

[Bob DBF]

What do you think would they fill 2250 steel 72’s to?
Just curious.

I stopped a shop monkey one time passing 3200, looking at it he thought it was a HP tank.

A few weeks later I dropped the tanks off at Cave Adventurers in Marianna, Florida, and then left to take care of some errands. When I returned, the shop looked like it had gone through some kind of disaster. "What happened?" I asked. Well, it turns out the guy who "fixed" my burst disk in south Florida had replaced the high pressure one I had installed with a standard low pressure one.

I am sure the people who were at Cave Adventurers that day will remember that day for a very long time.

the shop “gone through some kind of disaster” for a single burst disk failure?

You'd be surprised.

A few years ago I was doing a deco dive with my double LP 108s in south Florida, and when I picked up my tanks, the guy who did the fills said he had detected a very slight leak from one of my burst disks, and he had fixed it. I didn't give it a lot of thought, assuming he had put a wrench to it and given it a bit of a snugging. The tanks were filled to normal rated pressure, as I expected.

I cringe at the thought...



That you were getting a trimix fill.

Nah--just 32%. Jackson Blue cave.

Doubtful. With the volume of tourist divers coming through cave country with their own tanks. Burst discs are a weekly if not daily occurrence.
While annoying, it happens a lot.

My intent going forward is to make sure they only fill it to 2640.

You don't live in central FL, do you? If you did you'd get some pretty strange looks at the fill station complaining about getting too much air in your LP tank.
