lamont:I'm pretty sure that I've read about the Sport Chalet on this board before as well -- if memory serves they partial pressure blend nitrox, but it'll take you a serious argument to get them to top a nitrox-labelled tank with EAN21...
Ann Marie:You are incorrect. They do not fill nitrox at all; perhaps this is why the employee made a mistake. He read an article and misinterpreted what was written. Similar to what you just posted.
Luckily, when someone makes a mistake, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt before I sling mud.
wedivebc:Could someone please direct me to whatever statute makes putting air in a nitrox tank illegal. I am not familiar with US laws.
Rick Inman:Who cares, if it's backgas? The op was talking about his doubles - not a dedicated high % o2 bottle. You're not gonna' get more than 40% at a chain LDS like S.C. anyway. Labels, shambels. Just give me what I ask for - it's my tanks, and I doubt I'll blow up your shop with my 32%. You wanna' analyze my remaining gas to make sure I'm not doing the partial pressure fox trot on you, ok (although, you might get a 0% reading ).
Really, until you get over the 50% hump, just give me the gas.
