Hi Bob,
Thanks for the timely post. Another caution that we were warned of is the absence of a flow regulator on the welding tanks. There is a risk of tearing the lung tissue if you take a really strong blast.
Our poison control centre here has told us that the quality of our welding o2 is very similar to that of the medicinal o2 but that the regulator issue is more of a concern.
Yet, ya do what ya gotta do, right?
Cheers
