Given that some LDSs are a little dimmer than others you may want to bring in one of your "backdraft" tanks and a propane tank at the same time. If they pass both and return them filled, find another LDS...

I just got through calling my friend who has the tanks and he said they were about 24" tall and about 6.75" in diameter, and they are aluminum with a pressure rating of 2216psi, or what Scott refers to as a 30 minute tank. Assuming these tanks will accept a scuba type valve, why would they not make good stage tanks or something of that nature??? Also, can someone tell me how to figure out how many cubic feet of air these tanks hold, or do I not have enough measurements for that??
I think everyone already sounded a word of caution that seems to have gone unheeded.Originally posted by JT2
What do ya'll think???
Shoot Eric... If I were a betting man I would lay odds that they are charging the extra buck *because we have to use an adapter* which means of course that the Scott packs still have the SCBA valve... which of course means that they are for FD/rescue work above water.Originally posted by O-ring
..they had a sign up with air/nitrox fill prices and I noticed they had Scott packs on there (a dollar more than an air fill for an 80). Not sure if they just fill them for local emergency workers or for other uses, but I will ask them when I pick up my tank.
