    Because damn near anything will burn when exposed to high pressure
    oxygen and if the soap you are using gets inside the threaded
    fittings when you change the tank or hoses and you turn on the
    oxygen it could explode. You must always use oxygen safe materials
    when working on oxygen tanks. Anything else is courting disaster.
