EXACTLY  !  ALL I ever get is "Why did they put that tank under there"
growling  while trying to fill it.  NO ONE absolutely NO ONE has ever gone looking
for the missing Data Tag in the 15 years I've been having my refurbished tanks
 (I have two, neither has a DATA TAG) filled all over Canada, US and  Mexico
!
