REFILLING YOUR CYLINDERS
There are three types of oxygen available from an industrial gas company:

  • aviator's breathing oxygen (ABO)
  • welder's oxygen
  • medical oxygen

All three come from the same tanks of liquid oxygen (clean, pure, inexpensive, and dry). The FAA regulations state that "...oxygen marked ABO (which meets Fed Spec BB0925a Grade A or equivalent) may be used in aircraft breathing oxygen systems."  An ABO label on your oxygen cylinder will prohibit its being filled with anything but ABO. If it is not marked with an ABO label, an industrial gas company may refill it with welder's oxygen. An FBO will generally choose to have ABO in his refill station to avoid controversy.

Interested in having your own refill station?
$450 - Includes three adapters  (540, PB, and Scott) and the hookups necessary for two cylinders (leased). More...
