Thumbs down remove the bottles... hmmmmm

Well if your talking about the T series... you would have to first get out the screwdriver and wrenches... and then take the headliner down... which will give you access to the mechanical stuff up above it...

After you disconect the bottles... you can remove them from the rack mounts that they are in... and take them out...

But,,,,,,,

Most of us just take the little cover off the wing thingiee... and hook up the oxygen line to the valve their... its so much more simple... and takes less time too.... smile....

However, their is a catch.... you as a pilot can't fill you own oxygen bottles... yep it has to be done by a certified person... guess they don'want you to over pressure the bottles and have them go boom... inside.. makes such a mess....

So if your going to play with pressure vessels... which O2 tanks are... you should be very careful.. because not only are you dealing with a high pressure... you are also dealing with a rapid oxdiant... that can make a match turn into a blowtorch.... inside a confined place...

Otherwise a good idea...

and by the way..... I was over at Lindy gas the other day.. and watched them fill up the O2 tanks for welders... as well as the medical/avations stuff... guess what the differance is... and whos' is more pure.... GMAs
