What cylinder am I looking at here?

[SpecialTest]

I'm looking at the Faber steel cylinder on craigslist, but I'm not sure what one it exactly is. Ad lists it as a Faber steel scuba cylinder with a Blue Steel valve. Also notes it needs a hydro.

When asked, the seller doesn't seem to know much about it. Said it was made in 2007. He didn't know what size it was, but measured it and said it was 26" tall to the base of the valve, and 24" in circumference (which would be ~7.64" diameter). He also claimed 5,250 max pressure. (It's 3,442, as marked, right!?!)

I did a quick check and the measurements are the same as my Faber HP100. The rating is 3442 psi. To the left of the Faber sticker it looks like it says BSF100, same as my HP100 as well.

Edit the sticker I'm referring to is the "If its steel it must be faber" (or along that line); in the top picture.

Sounds correct, and the 5250 is the test pressure, not the fill pressure. Good tank.

Stored with gas in it? What's under the boot?

But does look in good condition on the outside. It's the condition inside that will fail the test.

Gotta agree with the post above, it's an hp100 3442psi tank. You can make out the bsf100 mark to the left of the stamped Faber under the blue sticker. That is where all my Faber tanks have the model size stamped.

It looks like a 12.2 litre tank. Must be 300bar. The standard is 232 bar. Nice tank.

Except it's a US DOT 3442psi "hp100" cylinder

.7 litre difference. You win the booby prize.

what are you prattling on about now?

There are no US DOT "300bar" scuba cylinders and it clearly says DOT on it.
300bar is 4351psi

This cylinder is full at 3442psi
