[Digestion] Digestion Digest, Vol 45, Issue 4

Mon Jun 9 01:30:35 CDT 2014

Dear Mr Jake Douenias,
I do agree with the views of Dr A D Karve and every country has their
rules, regulations for storage as well as for transporting
such pressurised gas.
I would suggest you to look into these rules and regulations and take some
professional help as pressurized gas is dangerous to play with.
