Also my tank is 7" in diameter.

I am still not sure how much air these things hold!
 
I had them hydro'd last year according to the well reputed shop!! WTF

Look closely for another stamp.
 
My tanks say the following:

FABER MADE IN ITALY M8303 04/1871/ 198
TC-3AAM-184/DOT-3AA 2400 REE 66

What all that mean and what is my personal "tank factor"?
Is there a plus sign (+) after the 2400?
dude seriously, what up with the rant?
"tank factors" are just a way to use the same ratio to explain how algebra can be used to figure out the volume at any pressure
Well, you asked.
Why have to remember a tank factor, when all the other info you need is right in front of you?
Also, by the continual rounding off of fractions, you lose accuracy. For example, 2640/85 = 3.1, not 3 or 3.2.
 
SO the 09 * 04 + stamp is below the rusty stamp (hydro stamp) it is under the paint.

The rusty stamp says 1 03/04 19.
