We used to have code somewhere that said "if there's a gaschange event in
the first 30 seconds (or maybe it was minute), then assume that's the main
tank in use. For example the Cobalt always sends the first gas in use as
part of the first sample...
I've seen many instances where the main (only) gas in use is not the first
one on the Cobalt.
