Title: ? O2 and leaving it in the truck is this OK
Post by Samiam on Mar 18^th, 2007, 11:32am

Hi Guys and Gal,

I wanted to go out today however it's quite cold in Philadelphia, PA. If I do go out I want to be able to take the O2 with me but I'm not sure if the cold will effect the O2. Can someone help me out? Is it OK to leave it in the truck while we go out? We will be in and out of stores.

Sami

Yes it will be fine...

Many people keep their tanks on a cold porch as they prefer the O2 cold.

I leave a tank in my vehicle all year round (I am chronic). Even in the VERY hot summer, locked in a closed vehicle. No problems.

The only minor problem in the winter, is the bag gets rather stiff, when left sitting in the freezing cold. But, after a few breaths, it warms up and works fine.

And it doesn't even get COLD there.

Since 02 has a boiling point of -280 degrees I guess it will be all right [smiley=laugh.gif]
A little cold will only effect the bag..lol

My kids are paranoid about O2, but I've carried it around, banged it, dropped it, left it in all types of weather and have yet to have a mishap. Now I don't smoke with it on (although some have - not a good idea). It's not as delicate as you've been led to believe.

Take it with ya....
