    Tank ID

    I recently picked up 2 tanks and need to ID the capacity. They are steel, Scubapro/Faber with a service pressure of 3000 psi. Height is 21.5" to top of neck, and diameter is 7". I suspect these are 72's but would like to confirm. Sorry, I can't seem to find my camera for pics.
    Thanks

    I believe that they are 72s.

    SS,
    Tried the search and somehow missed that one. I have many of the tanks DA mentions in his post. But these had me stumped.
    Again, thanks

    If it is 21.5", 6.9" in diameter and 3000 psi it is a Faber 72. My ex wife really liked them and she kept them when we divorced.

    Were these the ones that Faber hot-dipped?
