    Fabers are white, OMS were yellow.

    I have a bunch of the OMS branded Fabers that have the triple coating. They are all light grey to sightly tan in color.

    LOL, everyone else was throwing there 2 cents in so I thought I would add to the confusion. They are yellow and most people give me a funny look when I say 46s but FW has seen them and they do say 46.

    And I assume they're just a *tick* more negative in the water than the Fabers, no?

    I think the only difference is the paint, and markings. AFAIK, Faber didn't make special tanks for OMS. Why OMS calls them 46s, and Faber calls them 45s, is a mystery to me.

    95 vs 98
    65 vs 66
    etc...

    I remember somebody swearing the OMS tanks weren't quite as floaty or tail light.

    Same tanks, different test/volume temperatures.

    It was an OMS, Northeast, thing. We wouldnt understand.

    And yes I remember now: yellow.

    So, I still need one. Or 3.

    Sorry. I only have 4 or 8. And two are black. How confusing is that.

    I sure hope I quoted correctly. Would hate to be chastised.
