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.
You'd be surprised.the shop “gone through some kind of disaster” for a single burst disk failure?
I cringe at the thought...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.

Nah--just 32%. Jackson Blue cave.I cringe at the thought...
That you were getting a trimix fill.
Doubtful. With the volume of tourist divers coming through cave country with their own tanks. Burst discs are a weekly if not daily occurrence.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.

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