If that’s the case, then great. I just have a “thing” about compressed gases, having seen some truly impressive scenes of what can happen when things go bad.

Oxygen can be some scary stuff.

As a ha-ha, here is a hilariously out of date US Navy training film about liquid oxygen. A little graphic at times, but mostly bizarre. “Man from LOX”.

most fire stations and ems units get their tanks filled at the nearest weld supply store.

check the pricing.

the fda lists medical oxygen as a drug (can you believe this) which is why the paperwork and stuff makes the cost higher.

while medical oxygen is 99% pure, industrial has to be at least 99.5% pure.

the only stuff that has different crap done to it is avaition grade oxygen. This crap has to be dry, dry, dry.
