    Faber FX100 = 787 Cubic in
    Faber LP85 = 793 Cubic in

    Difference = 6 Cubic in = 0,00756% volume in water
    if you take it at 237 bar it mean 1.79% more gas at rated capacity

    How a diffecrnce in internal volume of 0,00756% end up with a 16% more gas?

    Not sure where you got your numbers, but if it holds exactly 85 cubic feet at 2640, it holds 115.91 cubic feet at 3600.

    All these numbers are getting pretty precise, but the manufacturing tolerances sure haven't gotten any better... :P

    Size of tanks/working psi*100= how much cubic feet your tanks will holdper 100psi.

    So lp 85's filledto 3500psi

    85/2640=0.032196969696
    0.0321969696*100=3.21cuft per100psi
    3.21*35=112
    112*2=224cubic feet for a set of lp 85's filled to 3500

    A set of hp 100's filled to 3500psi is 200cubic feet

    So you get an additional 24 cubic feet. Not to mention if you can only fill them to 3k. Which some shops will only do, then you are better off with the lp 85's
