    Tank failing Visual, shop condemned the tank?

    I might come off being anti customer because don't really deal with customers. I've been around when a customer went crazy on an employee for a failed tank. It was steel and had a huge dent and gouges. It looked like it fell out of a car or truck on the highway. Anyways it left a really bad...

    Tank failing Visual, shop condemned the tank?

    A piece of paper doesn't increase sales, and someone's willing cooperation doesn't mean squat when getting sued for everything you are and will be worth. You should especially know that living in California. My comment on "Better off buying VIP sticker from eBay and doing inspection yourself."...

    Tank failing Visual, shop condemned the tank?

    If a tank has rust inside, some pitting, contamination, minor crack, or a damaged thread doesn't mean it will fail a visual inspection. 99.999% of tanks will be fine with a tumble and clean and pass a VIP. Only truly dangerous tanks will fail a VIP.

    Tank failing Visual, shop condemned the tank?

    If I fail a tank durning visual inspection I drill a hole in the neck, or if I'm feeling nice cut the tank in half on the bandsaw so you can make a cool dinner bell. Of course I make you sign a pre-inspection waiver, then provide a detailed VIP sheet and take pictures of the damage to cover my...

    Din to Yoke Adapters - are there differences in quality

    I had basically the same situation but I had an adapter. It got me thinking though....If the yoke insert was so corroded I wonder what the inside of the tank was like.

    Next time you take a shower plug the drain in tub. The grey water is clean enough to get rid of the sea salt and dirt.

    which faber tank to buy?

    I prefer the non hot dip galvanized version. The new "painted" Faber cylinder's distributed by XS scuba are 3x zinc sprayed(Galvanized) and epoxy and polyurethane painted. The inside of the cylinder looks like a teflon pan.

    Plumber/Gas Technician interested in Underwater Welding -- looking for advice

    I really should have said do a "try scuba class or whatever they are called". I only mention this because a good friend wanted to get certified and signed up for OW certification class. He was fine in 3 feet of water, but as soon as they went to the bottom of the 12 foot section of the pool he...

    Do you rotate your primary and secondary regulators?

    This is my thinking.....I'd rather use the most "worn/abused" regulator as my primary with the thinking if one is going to fail I always want it to be my primary of course.
