Tank Maintenance

[Mel Moncrieff]

New tanks often sit up to a year or more waiting to be sold and sometimes at a discount... I know I bought mine a bit cheaper since they were a year old...

Now I don't know if the shop stuck it to you or not but... In your conversation with the dive shop

did you say, "we have a dive this weekend and got to get these tanks in spec regardless the price" or was it more like "we need these tanks ready so I need a quote" or something to this effect...?

Cause to me, how things are said make a big difference... as in, I take my car down to the local dealer cause I hear a noise in the engine... I tell them that I am heading out on vacation and I them to make sure the car will make the trip and do what they need to do to get it ready... I show up the next day and they hand me a 2500.00 bill cause they needed to replace a piston...

Now I would have preferred a courtesy call regarding the piston but I asked them to "get it ready" so maybe its my fault...

Thanks L, I let my wife take the tanks in--that may have been part of the problem

These tanks were only being prepared for air, not EAN.

Then you got shafted
