I am trying to calculate a value I saw in a gas catalogue from a supplier and 
am having trouble.  A 1.5 cubic foot (water volume) cylinder can hold 306 cubic 
feet of Oxygen at 2400 psi.  How can one go from data in water volume to 
gaseous Oxygen at high pressure?  I am caught in a vicious circle with the 
ideal gas equation of state and am desparately in need of some help.
