RE: dust in my SS4000

["gary" <gsellani@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A few more tips for those who want to use a scuba tank. First, get a steel
tank. They are heavier than the Al tanks, but are less likely to crack.
Also, never run the tank completely empty as the dive shop will think you
have a leak and then insist on an inspection that costs $20. The air refill
is $5.
