Steel Tank Exterior (can it be redone)

[KevinNM]

Cape Ann Dive shop in Gloucester MA, wouldn't fill tanks with a NITROX sticker on it and claimed it was a liability issue. Since they didn't dispense NITROX and weren't set up to analyze or record the gas %, they didn't want the hassle. Sucked for me as all four of my steels have a sticker and I always wanted to do more dives.

I think there is a lesson there about nitrox stickers...

As a non-techie and as yet non-nitrox, I have wondered before why nitrox needed big stickers but other mixes get duct tape. I assume it is a cattle boat, don’t mix and match thing?

I think it's left over from the voodoo gas days, but I don't really know.

Do Nitrox tanks HAVE to have those big stickers? Because stickers are not good for tanks.

Yes, and don't the hydro guys have to remove the stickers before they test them?
