Aside from increasing my awareness tenfold about not leaving my tank unattended while upright, it made me wonder if I have been safely storing my tanks between dives.

Normally, we take our tanks to the shop immediately after diving and have them filled, then store them (on their sides) in the garage until next dive...the philosopy being that the tanks are ready to go the next time we dive. However, after reading several tank explosion stories, I am wondering if it is safe to store full tanks over a period of days or weeks, or if they should be stored with only minimal pressure in them (to keep moisture out)??
Thanks for your advice!
