*** "...our Medevac, fixed wing and chopper, guys all use the small bottles, about 30 inches long and 5 inches in diameter. Storage pressure would typically be 1950 PSI. They use a different valve than industrial bottles but the Oxy is the same. Comes off the same manifold at the gas plant..."

Sounds like a "D" sized bottle. Our ambulances use them too.

That’s the most common fer sure for Air Life, Air Link , local fire/EMT’s etc. But seeing the pic reminded me of a cousin who needs full time Oxy. He has a rack in back of the minivan that holds at least 10 bottles. At his home he dedicated a bedroom to storing spare bottles. I ain’t saying he’s thick-headed, nope, no sir, not saying that, but I tried to explain “concentrator” to him. Gave him a better regulator than the one he was using. The whole conversation went right straight thru his ears. Never even slowed down. Still has bottles everyplace?
