You will only get 1/2 across unless you have a haskel. Might as well just dump it.limeyx:

Well, If I can get a manifold that would work with 7.25" and 8" tanks I'll go ahead and double up the AL80's since I have the tanks on hand anyway and I dive mostly in freshwater.
Then when I buy another LP95 I'll just buy a set of 8" bands and setup the LP95's and I'll still have my AL80's as deco or travel gas when I get futher down the road.
Thanks,

JKSteger:
Before you buy another LP95 and double them up, see if you can borrow or rent a double 95 set up.
I found the LP95s short length created a trim problem for me and I am switching my manifold onto my HP130s (essentially the same dimensions as LP104s).
If you want, you can even band up a pair of 95s and test them out as independant doubles to get a feel for how they trim out (which is what I did with my HP130s).

ClevelandDiver:
Great suggestion! I can borrow my brothers LP95 to test as an independent double setup to see how they trim.
...Also I called Diver's Supply and they said that their manifolds were designed as 7.25" AND 8" type so if I had one of their manifolds, I could use it on a 7.25" tank and also use it on a 8" tank.
I'm not educated in this area too much so please forgive me if that is how all manifolds are designed.

hoping i can get someone to pump it for me. (and have received another offer of help via PM
if not, maybe I will see how much I can get into an 80 stage at least.

I stand corrected. I just read a little to much into the 200 bar rating.

Just got a set of doubles I bought. Take a look at the picture and see what UPS did for me. The question is, it doesn't seem to leak but can it be trusted?
I swear, you could ship a canonball with them and they would lose or break it.

My life is more important than a manifold.
