    keyword=C4F8O purge started

    - Put the C4F8O bottle up on the scale (initial reading 237 lbs).

    - Attached to the regulator and checked for leaks using Snoop.

    - Installed 13X molecular sieve (Labclear RK-400 material) to filter for water and other impurities.

    - Note: The bottle pressure is very low and doesn't register on the high pressure gauge. Max pressure observed on the low pressure side when outflow valve shut was 10--15psi.

    - Tank is ~1800 liters so a single volume swap will require about 40 lbs of gas (1 kg ~= 100 liters STP). This could take ~8 hours at the current estimated flow rate (want to see 200lbs on the scale). I'll check on the mass flow rate in a couple of hours...
