When "bleeding" an oxygen tank, you are releasing excess pressure stored in the regulator, not the tank itself. If the excess pressure remains, it can damage the regulator, and the guage needle can get stuck, giving an inaccurate reading of how much oxygen remains in the tank.

Why do the totals of carbon dioxide and oxygen not change?

i don't completely under stand your question, but if you're asking why the amount of it in the air doesn't change, the answer is simple. we breathe in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide. while plants "breathe in" carbon dioxide and let out oxygen. oxygen is also made from chemical reactions from the ocean. but this is not enough to supply this much life with oxygen, and we still don't know where all the extra oxygen came from.

Why does your hot water tank have rust in it?

All hot water tanks have rust after 4-5 years. If you are a sensible homeowner, drain and clean it every 3-4 years. You first turn OFF the power to tank, now remove the anode rod, ( a large bolt head on top of the tank, attached to what may remain of your rod) . then attach a hose pipe to the bottom fitting, lead it outside or to any drain, turn on the valve by it, turn OFF your inlet valve and open the relief valve so air can enter the H/W tank. Let the whole tank empty -takes about 30 -40 minutes. Next, when empty turn ON the inlet valve and let cold water run through the tank and out the hose, now you will see the sludge coming out. Let this run 5-7 minutes or until water is coming through clean. Now you are done . Let it fill, and fit new anode rod as it fills ( weight of the water helps) then turn on power when full.

1994 Toyota truck 22RE engine 4wd you need to bleed your power steering Is there a bleed port on the power steering gear - could not find How do you bleed your fluid is frawthy you have replaced some?

There is no known bleed port.The foam [frawth]will dissapate. Most of the time you only need to "let it set awhile". Most likely by the time you came in to ask your question the foam trapped in the system has mostly dissapated. by moving the wheel from side to the other side a few times will get all the air out. dont over fill the tank since it will spill out and it needs the extra space. you may have gotten the oil low and need more to stop the foam.
