Well I've gotta jump in on this one. As I get my O2 from a 'medical' supply company. Guess what, it comes in a welding tank. Of course, jonny was a bit ..ummm...how would you put it....flabbergasted, that a medical outfit would use welding tanks to deliver their medical O2 to their customers, but it's a for sure thing that you are breathing the same stuff, be it from a medical tank or a welding tank. Around here, both kinds are filled by AirGas East Inc in Syracuse. I'm told the only difference is the level of inspection on the tanks, which in this case, the medical tanks get a lesser inspection than the welding tanks for welding shops. Just my personal experience.
I'd be interested in learning more about the fire fighter units though, I may have to go buy me a tank and get it filled with O2 on my own.
