I seem to recall a thread from this past summer where it was shown that you'd have bigger problems than a venting cylinder if it got hot enough for that to happen. I don't have the thread or the math handy but at the thumb rule of 5 PSI per degree F it would take a wicked hot day to hit burst.

This argument seems to me to be over if its "Charles' Trunk" or "Gay-Lussac's Legs" or "Amonton's Tail" when its clear to me that its just an Elephant and I don't understand what the argument is about...

As I recall the medical profession are some the worst offenders when it comes to dishing them out
