I just don't remember any helium tanks used in the frcs or the ohms/rcs pods.

According to the Diagram that Dan day posted at #263, there are at least 6 Helium tanks (two in each of the reaction control systems). Not that the item in question was neccessarily one of them.

Thanks, lepton, for sticking with this. I couldn't read the graphic very well, and going from my memory, as a parts trouble shooter on the shuttle in the late 80's.

So, perhaps the helium systems are indeed trouble free.

I will remember now about the helium.
