I traded in an OLD 40 cubic O2 tank (about 5 years past the stamp) and got two (new) 20 cubic O2 tanks for less than the cost of one. I even got a decent rate on the O2. Basically, for just over $100, I walked away with two full 20 cubic foot O2 tanks, and the extra brass fittings I needed to connect the 3/16" tubing to the regulators. I tried the 'industry' plastic fittings, but I cracked it when I put the worm clamp on it. The brass fittings have Oetiker clamps on them, and they're going no place. I prefer to use the Oetiker clamps since they grab a full 360 degrees around the tubing, unlike worm clamps. Plus, there's no sharp edges to get sliced on. I'm working my way through everything that has worm clamps and replacing them with Oetiker clamps. Even the 1/2" ID silicone tubing...
