Looking for help on Euro tanks (Faber)

[Invader]

Looks way too narrow to be 18L

I think so too, based on the pics, but I'll see them in person in a couple weeks.

I have AL "narrow" but taller 18L tank and regular wider and shorter 18L tanks. The narrow tall 18l tanks are a pain.

Hard to say without the valve in the picture. Standard 18l/220 bar tanks are around 20 kg though.

They're not great for single tank diving if that's what you're looking to do with it. They're about the size of a LP120.
Can you even get these filled in the States?

18ls are the same diameter as 15ls but longer... so unless it's a full picture of the tank, you can't really tell.
My guess was 18l too based on the weight and it being a faber tank. I think tanks a lot is right.

@berndo technically yes for personal use, but its a giant hassle to try and get a dive shop to fill them without a hydro stamp. a DOT hydro recertifier cannot legally stamp these because they are not DOT approved. if you have your own compressor, then its all on you. same situation as dealing with those add helium ccr tanks.
