OK Guy's need some help,
make a long story as short as I can,Just had a AL 80 tank of mine NITROX Cleaned and cert at my local LDS,It had a new Hydro,and a vis,but now a valve-NITROX and tank cleaned,the valve is a Sherwood ,I had the tank filled with EAN 36,and had it with my other dive stuff in cool basement,ready for our vacation in a few days,
Wife came home from work and a few moments it sounded like we had a v-12 rocket in our basement it scared the CRAP out of her,im at work and get the call.
No the tank was not near the furnace!,I store all my dive stuff in a cool part of basement,
Tank was a short fill 2900 PSI the LDS owner told me at the time of the pick up,it was fine by me do to I was going to do some equipment and weight changes fresh to salt,7mm to 3mm .
1. if this would happen at depth,seems like with one tank your screwed? I would think the surge or pressure drop would cause your reg to freeze with the mass air drop,also the air shooting out of the ports would seem to me like cutting nozzles ouch that would feel real good on your back! and just to think now you have no air! and all this blast of air would give you a spin?
Well I look forward to some help on this,and know that it is a one in a million chance, that this would blow at depth,but not takin a chance on a copper disck and my life!
but now I know im going to some type of a pony set up,before I stick a toe in he water!
