Fair enough.

Only a stupid one does.  I broke some rules, obviously.  Compressor 
maintenance was not one of them......why cut my own throat?  That kind of bad 
news can kill a dive business quicker than anything else I can think of.
To ease your mind a little.....remember that while carbon monoxide has no 
odor, the other by-products of combustion *do* have an odor.....think of your 
car exhaust.....very difficult to ignore.  The most common problem with 
saturated filters is not carbon monoxide however; it's oil saturation.  
Believe me, if you've ever breathed a tank that has oil mist in it, you'll 
know it instantly. It stinks, tastes bad, and will give you a sore throat in 
no time flat.  Only a moron would even attempt to dive with such a 
contaminated air supply.
Chances are, if you can't smell anything in your air, there is nothing bad in 
your air.
