I have seen my fair share of ignorant people using cylinders way beyond their rated pressures.
A friend fills 300 bar scooba tanks (test pressure of 450 bar) for PCP (airrifle) use.
Once while I was at his house this guy came with an aluminium tank rated for 200 bars filled all the way to 300 bars. The real horror was the standard plumbing parts rated for 10 bars that he had concocted to transfer the gas!
Lpg tanks are usually rated to 20 bars with a much higher burat pressure.
