This was a few miles from my first shop in Florida. It looks like they
will be short a lot of tanks for a while. I had to report a leaking
tank in one of their retail locations a few weeks ago. The manager of
the drug store it sat in front of wasn't too happy, since some customers
ignore the 'No Smoking' signs on a regular basis.

Scary thought, that.

Thanks, Sentinel. LOUSY before and after comparison. They aren't the
same resolution and it's impossible to tell how much of the area
covered on the right (after) was in the left (before) picture. The
painted rectangles give some bit of reference, but...

Agreed!

And another thing the Sentinel got wrong was that these were 20#
tanks, not 20 gallon. BIG difference: 300%!

Pete's probably right about the karma thing. I can refill for under
$6 today, not $25-30 for the Rhinos. I'm considering getting another
tank for backup...
