I found an aluminum tank listed as a Faber 80cf/ 3000 psi the original hydro is 3/85, the latest 9/02. Is this tank made of the 6351 ?
The 'fire hall' goes by inspection stickers......
EDIT: The 'fire hall' I use goes by inspection stickers...
The person who is selling them doesn't have a clue if they are al or steel because she said she got them from her uncle a long time ago and she has no clue. So it sounds like the first step would be to talk to a couple local shops first.
WAIT A MINUTE!!!!
You aren't seriously expecting a tank monkey to actually have a clue here are you.
By law it is the LDS owner's responsibility to both know the law and hazardous materials handling rules (ANY gas over 40.6 psia is hazmat, by definition as published in the Federal Register) and to TRAIN ALL tank handling employees in the same rules. Given that most LDS owners have no clue beyond (generally fictitious) urban legends the average tank monkey has no chance at all.
