Thank you - it makes good sense.
I have been hiring aluminium cylinders and have rigged them the same as you describe in your response.
This sounds silly but do you still EAN test them every year? Do you think they require as much maintenance as steel cylinders?

The more I think about it - the more I would like aluminium.

Happy to help bubblejane!
Regarding EAN tests, it is pretty easy for me because I am a DSAT Gas Blender (Instructor) so I do the oxygen cleaning myself. But yeah, stick to the recommended testing standards from your tec agency. Maintenance wise, they're pretty much the same. But as you probably know, steels are going to have a much longer lifespan than AL. :)
