Who leaves the fill station with a gas 10% off from the target?
Do you guys really do this?
I can’t even.
Sadly, not every fill station operator is as good as you guys....

I certainly don't. I give them about 2-3% before I get grumpy.
@stuartv don't confuse MOD stickers with mix stickers, VERY different things

We're seriously having a discussion about removing MOD stickers because a fill monkey can't put the right gas in a tank?!
Standard gases are a great way to minimize variables, dedicated tanks for those standard gases eliminates even more variables, MOD stickers ARE NOT analysis stickers
One can standardize a set of gases for their group without them being identical to gue, Wkpp, etc.
I also question the idea of bailing out to standard gases adds “a ton of deco”.
Standard gases were not determined randomly--they make just as much sense for any agency. Unfortunately, they make the most sense for the primary reason they were developed, which was very much dependent upon location--and that means Florida.Certainly can, but for the sake of argument, 99% of divers refer to Gues gasses as the “standard”.
Beleive me, in the midwest and in the Rocky Mountain region, Nitrox diving is so rare that there is no banked ANYTHING. Most of the Colorado shops can't even make it from scratch. The shop for which I used to work uses nitrox only for their instructors in busy instruction days when the instructor is teaching multiple classes. They have a set of nitrox tanks for that purpose, and when they get used up, they call me to find out when I'll have some O2 on hand so I can come over with MY fill whip and put the necessary O2 in their tanks.If you have banked anything, j
