    Default Can you help me with these tanks

    Hey all my buddy has two tanks that he swears are steel 92s with a working pressure of 3000. He says there super heavy but I cant find any info any where about such tanks. Any body know anything about them?

    If they're 6.9" tanks, it sounds about right. They're something like 20lbs negative when full.

    i got a couple of these. They look just like a 72, but heavier and 3000 psi vs 2200

    A married couple that used to dive through one of the shops I work for had four of them. They absolutely loved them because they were both overweight and these cylinders were like having an al80 plus about twelve pounds of lead.

    No, these tanks are even heavier than the old 72s. 72s were 2250 psi, these are higher pressure.

    There are 2 possible candidates.

    If they're the 92, they're 6" by 23-something inches. RARE.

    There are 2 versions of mid-pressure 72s. One was #8 negative empty and 6.9x18. The other is like 2-3# negative and 6x21ish. I have a set of each; I'll photograph in the daylight.
