I don't get this.

Does 21% settle out if left for a while? I don't think so; so why would any other mix of O2-N2 settle out or stratify? They're miscible gases, not salad dressing.

I'd have thought your regs should be ok too, provided they are still within their normal service interval.

After a protracted lay-off from diving, I once used a cylinder that was filled 4 years previously and it was fine but that was because at the time, the nearest serviceable compressor was 130 kms away and it was out of test by then. (annual hydro tests here).

I freely admit that I've had no training in the use of enriched gases for deco, so I'm no expert.
