After countless frustrating searches, I can't find a source for new HP (3442 psi) steel 65 CF tanks. I need 4. Seems PST used to make them, and another company that I cant remember name.
I don't like the length of LP 63's or aluminum. HP steel 65's were perfect. 7-1/4" diameter, 16-3/4" tall.
Anyone know if and where I can buy?
TIA
 
Never even heard of them. The smallest HP tanks easily available and in current production are HP80s.

I know PST made a HP65 (3,500 psig). Approx four inches shorter than their (20") HP80. A friend (petite woman) dove these in the mid 1990's doing Great Lakes drysuit dives. I wasn't aware, though, that when PST switched to making HP (3,442 psig) cylinders, they made a 65, too.

I saw a dude diving them, they are little tiny pills of a tank.

Nobody is making new DOT marked hp65. You might find a non-DOT cylinder out there in the wild but probably best not to import those.

Should have asked in 2019 when I unloaded 4 Worthington 65s that I had used for stage bottles.

Many of the older divers that have then are no longer diving. If you have social media, put out feelers on FB and are dive shops. I'm always offered good prices on used PST and Worthingtons of all sizes fairly regularly. Throw out the net wide and put it in the classified sections of scubaboard and see of some members are willing to part with them.
 
I still have one. I bought it about 20 years ago. It has a current vip and hydro.

Sorry, I'm not interested in selling it.

I used to see them for sale new at Sport Chalet so I know they are out there.
 
Think these might be 65
