The color of a tank should never be considered an indicator of contents. There is no regulation in the U.S. regarding the color of compressed gas tanks. You should rely on knowing where the tank came from, what it was used for, and the label affixed near the valve to judge its content.
The question mentions oxygen, so if this tank has been used medically and has a label affixed indicating oxygen, be especially careful as this is likely to be pure oxygen and very flammable if handled incorrectly.
Also keep in mind that not all oxygen is fit for human consumption, oxygen is used in many industrial and scientific applications, only medical grade oxygen is considered safe for inhalation, and must be down so with the proper mix and rate.
If you are unsure of the contents or the correct method of handling this tank you need to contact a compressed gas distributor to aid in identification you will likely receive a refund of your deposit when you return the tank.
What else can I help you with?
When a submarine pups water out of its floatation tanks its density decreases and it floats why does its density decrease?
When the tanks are full of water they force O2 out of the tanks. Once the tanks empty out the water they will fill with gasses that in the water such as O2 or Co2. These gasses are palpably less dense than water so the submarine rises. I hope that helps.
What is the balanced equation for N2H4 plus O2-N2 plus H2O?
N2H4 + O2 >> N2 + 2H2O ( for some reason the capitals will not remain when I click save )
What are ballast tanks made out of?
Ballast tanks are typically made out of steel to withstand the pressure of water when the tanks are filled or emptied. Some tanks may also be lined with coatings to prevent corrosion and improve durability. Additionally, modern ballast tanks may incorporate advanced materials such as fiberglass or reinforced plastics for lighter weight and increased resistance to corrosion.
How do you get your old number back with o2?
To get your old number back with O2, you need to contact O2 customer service and request to have your old number restored. They may ask for some verification details to confirm your identity and ownership of the number. Once the process is complete, your old number should be reactivated on your O2 account.
What is the chemical equation for burning lead?
2Pb + O2 ----->2PbO then 2PbO + O2 ------> 2PbO2 some mixed oxide will be formed also 2PbO + PbO2 ----->Pb3O4

In apollo 13 what happens when Jack Swigert stirs the O2 tanks?
When Jack Swigert stirs the O2 tanks, a short circuit causes a spark that ignites the highly pressurized oxygen in the tanks, leading to an explosion that damages the Apollo 13 spacecraft and jeopardizes the crew's mission.
What is a tank scope?
It is an instrument use to measure hydrocarbon gases when the tanks are in inerted condition when there is no O2 is present in the tank.
What tanks do homeowners in some communities use?
fish tanks
What was the cause of the Apollo 13 explosion?
There were alot of reasons, but the main one was that the cables in the O2 tanks didn't match up with the plugs and they couldn't cool the O2 down because they couldn't shut off the Heater. This lead to the explosion when the guy swirled the O2 tanks.
What are the colors of the seahorse?
Generally they are red, black, white, yellow, or brown. It depends on what seahorse type you get as to what color it is, honestly. Mine was black and he turned yellow in different tanks.
What does a No Discharge black and yellow boating marine sign mean?

Why tanks have smooth barrelled guns?
Do they now? Some tanks have certainly had rifled-barrelled guns.

Some were.
What are some names of vendors who sell rainwater tanks?
For local vendors who carry rain water barrels or tanks, it is best to look in the Yellow Pages or check with home improvement or farm supply stores. These containers are large, heavy, and bulky and therefore shipping can be expensive if they are ordered online. However, there are sites such as eTanks that offer them.
Why is nitric acid in pale yellow color?
It is due to the presence of dissolved oxides of nitrogen.HNO3 Light > NO2 + O2 + H2O
What are the various oxygen tanks with color-codings and what are the significance of their colors?
Most scuba tanks are filled with compressed air (same as the "normal" air we breath) 21% Oxygen and 79% Nitrogen. The tanks are a variety of colors and the color does not signify anything. Special NITROX tanks have a bold Yellow and Green band which goes around the tank and is usually 8" wide. NITROX can have a range of between 32% and 50% oxygen (the balance is nitrogen). This yellow/green band - with the word NITROX can be placed on any color tank. Special tanks with exotic gas mixes will be indicated with special bands - there is no standard colors for exotic mixes.
