Faber 2L Steel pony bottle

[GreyDyvr]

I just picked up a 2L HP Faber tank to use as a pony bottle. I have it rigged to sling on my left side. Anyone have experience slinging a small steel pony? Should I remove weight on my left side to balance out or keep my current weight and just shift some to my right? It’s a very nice little tank.

only 15cf which isn't much, rather negative which isn't ideal, and really short which not great for slinging.....

How did you end up with an FX15?

Typically used as a rebreather dil or O2 cylinder. Never seen one used as anything else. Not really good to sling, and if you mount it to your main cylinder, it will tip you over. An AL-13 is a far better choice IMO and way easier to mount.

If you really like that 2L for some reason, you might look into slinging it with a RASS or similar. RASS Configuration | Office of Marine and Aviation Operations I think their pouches come from Dive Rite or Zeagle.

Or XS scuba. Google "Pony bottle pouch" XS Scuba 19CF Pony Bottle Bag
