I believe that the answer of changing to the term "cylinder" from "tank" is no.
Here is is the reason. Most manufacturers appear to have settled on the term "tank" not "cylinder". I checked several manuals. Aeris Atmos AI Aeris Atmos Elite Aeris A300 CS Atomic Cobalt Aqualung i750tc Aqualung i550 Mares Icon HD Oceanic OCI Oceanic vtx Scubapro Aladin h Scubapro Mantis 2 Scubapro g2 Scubapro/Uwatec Galileo Sol Scubapro/Uwatec Galileo LUNA Shearwater perdix Sherwood Amphos Sherwood Sage Sherwood Vision Sherwood Wisdom 3 Suunto EONSteel Suunto D4i Suunto D6i Suunto DX They all use the term "tank". A few (g2, EONSteel, Wisdom) have 1 or 2 references to cylinder; however, "tank" is the normal term. Suunto Zoop: uses the term "cylinder" throughout its manual, but then they use "tank" to refer to "tank pressure". Suunto Cobra: uses the term "cylinder" throughout its manual, but has 3 references to "tank pressure". Suunto Suunto HelO2: uses both Shearwater: Petrel 2 never refers to either "tank" or Cylinder". Oceanic proplus 2: uses both Oceanic proplus X: never uses either "tank" or "cylinder" and uses "Gas n" or "Gas pressure" So far I've only seen the Suunto Zoop, Suunto HelO2, and the Oceanic proplus 2 using the term "cylinder". I would heavily lean to the term "tank" as that is in more wide spread use in the computer documentation and many dive computers use the word "tank" or "T" on the actual computer display. I would prefer not to use a different term than the actual manufacturer documentation. --- bill _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
