the right tanks?

[oldguy]

What is your preference? The low pressure 2645 steels or the higher pressure 3345? Worthington? PST? Faber? I am looking at two Worthington
108's.

Big tanks, small tanks, so long as they're real. I hate fake boobs, I mean tanks.

LP Faber,. if you know the shop will actually fill them. HP from my understanding they still shrug about them.

Cave lp 95/98 or 104's. Some wear bigger,. but they are taller than i am. Paticular brand name,. i have no idea. What ever i can get that will last awhile. With out breaking the bank.

Don't confuse High Pressure tanks with 3442 tanks. Although they are in most ways identical, they have different neck sizes.

Any dive shop that won't fill a tank stamped 3442 to 3442, I would tell the guy he's an idiot and never go in there again. The same goes for 3500.

That being said, most of my steel tanks (all of my doubles) are LP PSTs. I only get fills where I work or in cave country, so I don't worry about the 2400 rating. I have 95s and 80s, because I have a good breathing rate. The good thing about them now being rated 3442 is that you can get a "cave fill" anywhere.

I like the weight of the painted Fabers, but in caves they get too beat up and rust. In looking at used tanks, I still recommend LP PSTs.
