No, (thanks for the sucking eggs info) yes i know thats what supposed to happen but i have seen this more and more,
when you drop cylinders off you should tape the fill you need to the cylinder however if they are wet this label can fall off and be reattached to one of your cylinders but not the one that you put it on, they get filled and now you have a case of the MOD21 has 100% or what ever and the OXYGEN has 50%, (Example)
Back comes diver picks up cylinders and doesn't test them because the tag he stuck on them were correct for the cylinders and away they go they obviously did pay any attention to the fill tape if there was one placed on it, bingo here we have the problems described. I carry an Anolox tester but how many don't! Its easy to get to the till and them say 1x 100% and 1x 50% cost is....... strengthens the idea that you have the correct fills, i once watched some "DIVERS" test a trimix by sucking on the reg and say yeah thats OK!!
EDIT: i dropped of my back gas for a 15/55 fill and ended up with a 55/15 fill???
good points though and strengthens the idea to test the mix I was just curious to the history of the incident
