The heat required to rupture a tank with only 200 psi would probably set your car on fire first. You'll be fine. The most dangerous thing would be an unsecured tank flying around in an accident.

It just got a clean, pro valve, and VIP. Don't have the ability for a transfill. Don't want to pull the valve unless I just cant get away from it.My math says a mere 222 psi, but bringing logic to an emotional argument may not be the best play. She's worried. Taking the valve off completely will address that. Tape the opening to avoid contamination. Transfill 200 psi back in when you get home so your fill shop will be happy.
TBH, you might want a vis anyway if you just got this used.
Kelvin is Metric(same increment as C), Rankine is Imperial(same increment as F).
I have a couple of steel tanks that permanently live in my car. I’m in the Midwest. They’ve not exploded or anything, even with the 100 degree heat we had two days this week. I won’t leave my rebreather O2 tanks in the car all the time like that, but the ones with air? I don’t worry about it.
Incorrect.But when we talk science, physics, PV=nRT, which not has to be K. Emperical doesn’t work
My doubles mostly live in the back of my SUV between April and November -- just don't feel like lugging them up and down the basement stairs every few weeks when I go diving.
