Scared Silly:" without beating the dead horse PP02 discussion I will just say there are fewer 02 molecules that can potentially oxidize in the inside.."
Finally, some words of reason and logic!
Scared Silly:" (t)he other option is to store the cylinder completely full. Though there will be more O2 for oxidation and at a higher pressure the oxidation process has been shown to be faster than at a lower pressu(r)e "
Good point!
Scared Silly:"For the last one - frost forms when water condenses on a cold surface. No water no frost. As such, if the cylinder is filled with dry gas there will not be frost on the inside. That said, if you drain a cylinder and frosts forms on it, do not remove the valve until it warms back to room temperature. Though the chance of room air mixing with the gas in the cylinder is low but when you stick your face up to it you can exhale into it.
THANK YOU! I was beginning to wonder what the heck was going on with all this water getting IN to tanks! Man, if I drained a half a cup of water from my tank (as others have mentioned or claimed), Id be back at the LDS raising h@[[
