The "firberglass SCUBA" tanks are not pure firberglass. The are AL on the outside and hoopwraped on the inside. See below LUXFER press anouncement.

They are actually aluminum on the inside and hoop wrapped on the outside so that the fibers are in tension. (which I'm pretty sure is what you meant :) ) I got to see a cross section of one and the aluminum is quite thin compared to a standard AL tank.
