> It would have to be extremely low pressure seals. Helium is so light it is incredibly difficult to store. When running some of our tests, I watched helium literally flow through the metal of a non-stainless steel connection on top of the LHe Dewar.

ok, hmmm, it sounds as if i got my story wrong then (not the first time lol). if i bump into my source i will post it (but i may have mangled what it in fact stated). thanks for the cool helium info!
