John:
That's pretty much the longer version of the conversation. But without the discussion of that might be why the tanks are designed to that size.
I do wish I had kept my old steel tank, but it sat in multiple closets for 15 years and I never used it so I tossed it about 5 years ago. When I tossed it still had pressure in it from the last dive so I suspect it was a perfectly good tank. (I vented the air before tossing it.) Thought I would never dive cold again.
