    I thought all were aware of the fact that the RICH has a leak. The 
    vessel was leak tested under vacuum and was deemed OK,
    but since we filled the first time we saw the pressure going down 
    slowly (~5%/month) at the beginning we thought C5F12 was liquefiying 
    and tried warming up the tank but the pressure kept going down. We have 
    refilled the RICH twice. I suspect the leak is at the quartz window 
    interface.
