I have an HP120 tank that I use on occasion to fill my HP air paintball tank which is actually used for a t-shirt launcher. My HP120 tank is O2 cleaned and mostly I dive it with regular air but occasionally I get a nitrox 32% fill.
I'm aware of why a cylinder has to be O2 cleaned and my LDS does partial pressure nitrox fills. 100% oxygen in the tank could explode if it comes into contact with something it's not compatible with.
I don't ever plan to use a nitox mix to fill my paintball tank but I'm curious if it posses any danger. One real possibility is that my next air fill might be slightly above 21%. I have about 700psi left in the HP120 and if I take it in for an air fill, they might not bleed it all the way down before giving it a regular air fill.
Thoughts?
