Huh? Water as a liquid can get up to any temperature you want it to get to,
as long as pressure's maintained to keep it in its liquid (not gaseous)
state. Not entirely sure what you guys are trying to do, but if you're
worried about an air filled container becoming explosive, I'd damn sure be
ten times as worried about a heated, pressurized water filled container
finding an unexpected outlet, and rupturing the container- can you say,
"steam engine, over-heated, with the safety locked down"?

 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
