Hi fbp,

...here's a link to the 'convertible' Thermo valves:

...here's a link to the Scubapro DIN/Yoke adapter
(it's the 5th item from the top of the page)

http://www.scubapro....Accessories.htm

.....here's a link to a 300 Bar DIN-to-Yoke Deluxe Fill Adapter:

http://www.diveritee...lladapter.shtml

(you CAN use this 300 bar adapter to fill ANY tank, not just
a HP 300 bar tank........but you first must saw-off that little
'nipple' on the far left side of the adapter......my LDS used a
dremel circular saw to cut it off for me.......so now it can be used
to fill any pressure DIN tank valve.

Great thanks Karl,

Doh!!!... :usflag:
LOL..I do have them on my tanks.. Geesh, know your gear eh??

Appreciate the links... heheh... thought they looked familiar...

Pretty kewl on the adaptor...
So it's just a matter of "Ease" in filling that you would use that??
Just looks a little bulky to carry around for an occasional use or, I think I get it now, you can use that adaptor for the 300bar? (deep din head) where as the little plug adaptors (200? 250 bar?) shorter ones won't work on the 300 deeper ones.. won't make the seal as they don't go deep enough into the Deep Din 300..

heheh... sorry about that, just a little dense in the techie-tech part of it all..
It's too easy to just bring in the tank, say "Fill'er up" and walk out...

Thanx again Karl,

I wouldnt consider 3450 LP. Anything under 3000, maybe. 3450, no. Thats HP in my book.

according to DOT, anything under 3500 PSI is LP.

that is why PST had their E series rated to 3442, so they would still classify as LP.
OK, lets make a deal. If you stop telling me how to dive, I'll stop going down to the bus station at 2am to slap d***s out of your mouth.
