Wish you would have presented this with all the facts from the very beginning! Would have prevented a lot of confusion.Yea guy lost his leg, not my bottle, just saying be careful when filling.
Not cool."Guy lost part of his leg"? What guy? Where did this info come from? This is freaking ridiculous. Pretty sure almost EVERYONE who saw the initial post assumed this happened to OP's tank. I lost the fingers on my right hand while filling last week but they're almost fully grown back, probably be 100% by Saturday. (Two stories of equal truth )
PLEASE understand that my remarks were based upon a statement that had little or no reported facts to back it up. MANY people who responded felt the same. We were left to assume too much. When the more complete story was revealed it made those responses seem callous & cruel. Once the original poster provided facts I amended my statement(s). I always knew sooner or later someone would get hurt using incorrect & inappropriate equipment. It doesn't mean I'm unfeeling or glad it happened, quite the contrary! Be SAFE people!Not cool.
Well the OBVIOUS solution to preventing governmental involvement and future regulation is to halt all discussion of filling your own tanks and ban sales of compressors in the classified section.As word of this gets out, what New Restrictions will Alphabet org, OSHA, etc start trying to enforce?
It is the same tank that the OP pictured. I was there a few days after it happened. Joe is very blessed to be alive. I'm not going to answer any questions on what happened, because it is all speculation at this point. Joe is a great guy and has a great attitude, considering.
Is it? I don't see an answer, other than "be careful" - which is certainly always true, but uselessly vague. Joe, by all accounts is experienced and knowledgeable, so understanding the full story behind this disaster would certainly better enable others to "be careful".No need to answer any questions as far as I'm concerned......It's a "no brainer".
Praying Joe makes a full recovery and folks keep supporting his business.....

Its the only way to be sure…
I’m a retired U.S. Navy Diver so I’ve been around HP air for many many years and that tank looks like a hodgepodge of trouble waiting to happen. Mechanical deflagration is the correct term for this event.It blew around 3000 View attachment 459797
I'm going to convert these to become my filling station. With the name Encore they've got to be rated for at least 5,000.....
