However I am not sure</div><div>what pressure of O2 you would put in your tank. where I get fills it's 3000psi </div><div>for air & 2000psi for O2.</div><div>As to the percentage of O2 criteria, I converted your 71 cubic ft to litres which</div><div>gave me 2010.5 cubic litres. With O2 being 21% this means there are 422.1 litres</div><div>of O2 in your hull. At G.L.s limit of 25% there would need to be 502.625 litres</div><div>of O2. So 502.625 - 422.1 = only 80.525 litres needed to take you to the limit.</div><div>(2.84 cuft)</div><div>Cheers Alan</div><div><br></div><div><br><div>Sent from my iPad</div></div><div><br>On 8/05/2017, at 11:55 AM, james cottrell via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494201051771_3551"><span>Hi Alan,</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494201051771_3574"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494201051771_3554"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494201051771_3553">My hull volume is 71 cubic ft.

Also the regulator fits directly to the tank, so the risk is so minimal. It comes down to our own personal experiences and comfort level. If I have a leak, the alarm will scream before the pressure is an issue. If you are real concerned about over pressures, pick up a small 12 v compressor and plumb it into a small tank to get rid of the pressure. That is one of the benefits of Gamma's internal HP compressor.</span></div><div id="yiv9320978967yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494191084121_4975"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="yiv9320978967qtdSeparateBR"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv9320978967yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Sunday, May 7, 2017 11:33 AM, hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv9320978967y_msg_container"><div id="yiv9320978967"><div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div id="yiv9320978967yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494175066843_6205">Hi All,</div><div id="yiv9320978967yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494175066843_6205" dir="ltr">I have purchased a few new medical O2 bottles for Elementary 3000. I got a bit worried after the O2 piping and penetrating discussion. I will have internal O2 supply and I admit I had some reservations because the big guys don't do that. Then! this morning I was watching a show on TV about a Saudi Prince flying around in his beautiful two seater glider. Low and behold, there it was, behind the pilot, a O2 bottle. If airplanes can carry O2 tanks inside the plane, why not a submarine? </div><div id="yiv9320978967yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494175066843_6205" dir="ltr">Hank</div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br clear="none"><span>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</span><br clear="none"><span><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a></span><br clear="none"><span><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a></span><br clear="none"></div></blockquote></div></div><div class="yqt5455013862" id="yqt95028">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank" shape="rect">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
