One would think that the suggestions of a larger canister would be easily
negotiated with Denver. Anybody that knows half of anything can see that
it's a safety feature and not a performance gain. You may do the club a

Especially if the solution was specifically adding a second identical
duplicate to the stock resoviour (tee'd in) to eliminate people using tricky
canisters for who knows what reason.
