Sorry about the egg sucking but all I had was the post which was put up on OD from the Quest list and I didn't understand if what you were asking was what Clare answered.

To me anyone who doesn't test the contents when they pick the cylinders up is somewhat daft. In addition, all the places I have been to, you have to write the cylinder numbers down on the check sheet from the filler and sign the analysis before you can take the cylinders away. Obviously this won't be a player if you do your own fills.

I have also heard about people testing He content by the sound of their voice or the sound it makes when the gas leaves the valve, but the person I know about checks the O2 content (which is the bit most likely to kill you) with a sensor and marks up accordingly.

Regarding your 55/15 fill, I hope you gave them sh*t and asked for a refill?

Regards

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.
