Failed tanks wanted!

That about sums it up. The worse the better

What do you have?

Edit:

This should probably go in the classifieds. I tried to delete it, but I can not...so here it is until moved.

I have a LP72 that I am about to fail. It has a twin that is still good.

What's are you planning to do with them? YouTube experiment? Art?

Mostly they will be used as examples for Visual Inspection classes. OK, one may get made into a BBQ

Robert... I've got two failed PST HP120s you can have... if you'll pick them up!

Do you want the valves on them?

 

[robertarak]

Thanks Bill! With or without valves. I'm not picky. Hold on to them for me. I'll come get them.

Wow. I am curious, what caused these tanks to fail? What was their date of manufacture?

Both were PST HP120s. The first failed due to over-expansion. It was dedicated to shore diving with fills on land. I believe it was the repeated hot fills by the fill station that caused it to fail. The shop manager agreed. The second failed visual. It was used almost exclusively on CA dive boats. It was so badly rusted that it couldn't be safely tumbled. I dive neutral buoyancy aluminium tanks exclusively now but sure miss the extra air supply for deep dives.

Send me a PM and we can see how best to get them from SLC to LA.

BTW the LP72 that is failed is perfect cylinder for a course. Kind of tricky as to why it failed.

That sounds great!
