Tank Pressure and Volume

[JeffG]

This is an interesting series of mesages and replys. While the math is correct, the law is not. In the United States it is illegal to overfill a cylinder beyond its authroized service pressure except for the 10% excess fill authorized for certain "+" cylinders.

Better call the Scuba police.

Don't look now, but there's a whole nest of criminal tank fillers in FL...if there's a bounty involved, I could use the dough. How's that witness protection thing work?

This is something I have always wondered about. I have seen people who religiously adhere to tank specs when filling, and also people who overfill as a matter of course, and to varying degrees. What is the consensus out there anyhoo? ( I realize that this is one of the knarlier cans of worms to be opening, so I will keep my head down now while the artillery flies:sofa: ) Woody

Maybe you could give us a reference to this so-called law. Is it a felony?

I am aware of certain DOT regulations concerning inter-state transport of pressurized tanks, but not any federal law that says you cannot over-fill a tank.

Please educate us.

Don't you know that in Fl we are very safety minded when it comes to filling tanks. Hey some guys do a Hydro every time the tank is topped off
