Oh no i leave the tanks on sunday or monday and don't pick them up till friday, I have a total of ten tanks, they just put in a new compressor and won't let anyone that does not work for them fill tanks. I stopped using this shop for about four months and they started to fill the tanks to 3500+, But, Today i get on the boat and look 3285psi. I haven't contacted thier haed office yet but i think thats next. We don't have a fill express in florida we do have a nitrox express. THANKS EVERYBODY

That is the wrong time to check your fill.
Leave them, pick them up cold, and ask for a pressure guage. Check them right there. If you are not happy, ask for a top off. They will get use to you checking and knowing what you want. Hopefully that will have an inpact.
 
There is a Diver's Direct in your town, is that your store? There's one in Orlando that I often go to. The new nitrox system they use makes a real hot fill. The guy said he filled my tanks to 3700 and they would go down to 3500. No, they went down to 3250. Is that your situation?

Yes, I could drop off and come back later and gauge the tanks, but that would be 88 miles of driving to fill two tanks. So, I am presently using another source.
