Al 80's around?

[Dan Gibson]

I may be a newer designation. I don't know for sure. It could have been S80 in the past. I'll send you a pm of a Quest email from Dave Sweetin on the proper tank.

That's correct. Thanks for the clarification.

It's the tank that goes from -1.40 to +4.40.

I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that many of these were stamped S80 intstead of S080 on the cylinder. My Luxfers are stamped S80 but Luxfer does not list these on their site. Am I right on this or do I actually have a different tank with different characteristics?

I'll also check my tanks at home. I have a couple manufactured in '98 and I believe they indicate S080.

I got your PM's. I bet you're right and that the designation may have changed just after my more recent tank came out. Mine (especially the older one) may have been manufactured before S080 and S80N existed.

Thanks.

Hi all-
Looking for some used Al 80s. Not comfortable purchasing from anywhere I can't see person I am buying from, just don't know enough about tanks to take the risk. I have been looking through Recyler.com for local opportunities, any other suggestions for my search?

I have two AL-80 tanks for sale, both in hydro and visual. Used but in good condition. I dive them every once in a while.

$70 each, or both for $130.

Call me if interested.

Hi Laurel do you know the exact date of the next SC scuba swap? I hope I am not out of town when it happens.

I just checked the to 1998 tanks and they indicate S80. The 2001 stage is an S080. The change in designation apparently happen between 1998 and 2001.

Mystery solved!

Do you find that your S80 and S080 appear to have the same characteristics?

Hey Roger,
No, I don't. I think it is usually sometime smack dab in the middle of April. SC doesn't even usually know until two weeks before. They do advertise it in the Ca Diver News, though.

Have you heard from Serg lately? He hasn't returned my phone calls...

I haven't been able to tell any difference. The only thing that affects them as far as I can tell is the choice of gas I put in them.
