It's always puzzled me, because except for purity torching oxygen and
medical oxygen are the same...tanks and all. Well, okay, bigger tanks usually. And yet I know of many areas where welding supply-type oxygen guys won't deliver if you don't live someplace zoned commercial. That's certainly true where I am now, and most of the Phoenix East Valley. But back in PA my trusty welding company delivered to me on demand (24 hours notice). Sometimes I took tanks in to be exhanged (if I'd had a brain fart and forgotten that the connected tank was my last of 3), but mostly I got delivery. Here, I have to do it ALL by myself.

They also will shoot through steel bulkheads, according to the "shipboard safety" lecture I got in Corps School. The "best story" about it, was a tank that some fumblefingers dropped, knocking off the cap-- it shot through two ship compartments and a hapless sailor between the first and second bulkhead....

The main reason they don't like to deliver in residential areas is those
areas are way off their routes. Also, they are used to delivering several tanks of various gases per location on a regular basis and dropping off one or two tanks occasionally isn't worth it to them. The place I get my O2 doesn't run a truck near me. They said they would deliver, but the extra charge was more than the tanks. -- There are no mistakes, only unexplored techniques "Karen_AZ" wrote in message news:8Iijb.19723$hp5.1453@fed1read04...
