I ordered the Faber steel tank FX71DVB shown in the table below. The specifications indicate 24.7 lbs as the weight, but I get 31 lbs when I weigh the tank. I assume the valve and boot may add another 2 lbs or so, but over 6 lbs seemed a bit much. The tank seems to be empty. I did get a small hiss that stopped abruptly as I fully opened the value. Could there still be more air in the tank somehow, another valve? Any other explanations for the extra weight? For a second I thought maybe my LDS gave me the 80 cu ft. instead, but I have confirmed the correct diameter and a "71" is stamped into the top of the tank.
Thanks,
David
