Here is a checklist of tips for caring for your scuba tank that seem obvious, but could have disastrous results if ignored:

Never leave a filled tank in a hot car. Air expands when heated.Check out a shop's intake pipe for supplying compressed air. If it is located in an area where there may be air pollution -- say near car exhaust -- go someplace else to fill your tanks.Ask if the dive shop has their air analyzed and ask to see their last test resultsStop diving while you still have air in the tank.
