Just to beat this dead horse a little but more...
Both camps push this a little but too far, if you own your tanks, and always get them filled at the same shop or two, and those shops only do air, you probably don't need to analyze your tanks.
If on the other hand, you rent tanks OR go to shops that do many different types of fills, OR go to as new shop, your odds of getting something unexpected go up. It's your choice whether or not to analyze.
