100 cubic ft. tank vs. 80 cubic ft.tank?

[ScubaLuuke]

Can anybody tell me how much more a 100 cubic ft tank weighs than an 80 cubic ft. tank when filled with 3000 psi?

You would need more info like what kind of tank etc...

Here is a link you can check for yourself.

Depends upon the specific tank. See http://www.huronscuba.com/equipment/scubaCylinderSpecification.html .

That list has info on the weight of the cylinders themselves. 80cu ft of air weighs about 6 pounds. 100 cubic feet of air weighs about 7-1/2 pounds -- or about 1-1/2 pounds more.

The extra air weighs a little less than 2 pounds. The weight of the tank is a different story. You would need to check the table referenced in the previous post, or the specs for the tank you're thinking of getting.
