That's sort of my point: you cannot "accidentally" hook fuel gas tanks to oxygen systems, and vice versa. One does not simply "accidentally" contaminate a bottle of O2.

OTOH, you can't make things idiot proof, because idiots are ingenious little buggers.

I have to proofread better, and mabee go to bed earlier. Fat Finger Syndrome strikes again - - - - - with ANY flamable gas -and DANGEROUS can result in the regulator detonating

Allowing any flammable material to be in contract with 100% O2 is a bad thing. And that includes greasing / oiling the connectors.
