Novel failure on an inspo tonight!??

Set the rig up for tomorows dive. Turn the 02 on and gas is leaking badly. As I am looking for the leak the glass pops out of the 02 presure gauge.

Not exactly a CCR failure but it would have been interesting on the boat.

Just nicked the gauge of my old OC rig. Hope its 02 clean
