Pressed Steel LP 80 or similar. Hard to say the exact capacity without dimensions.I am trying to determine the manufacturer and size of a LP steel tank. I have photographed every marking and included. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Perfect! Thank you. I missed the proof mark. I measured and based on this, it is a PST 104. Thanks again!Based on the PST proof mark and the 2400 service pressure indicated after "DOT-3AA", both in the last picture, you have one of the following Pressed Steel Tank Company's cylinders:
PST LP 45: 5.5 inch diameter x 23inch long, 19lbs empty
PST LP 80: 7.25 inch diameter x 24 inch long, 34lbs empty
PST 95: 8 inch diameter x 24.75 inch long, 43.8lbs empty
PST 104: 8 inch diameter x 26.88 inch long, 46.4lbs empty
PST 120: 8 inch diameter x 29.37 inch long, 51.3lbs empty

Did you weigh it? Not saying that your measurements weren't right, but unless you have very large hands, it looks more like an lp80 in your picture.Perfect! Thank you. I missed the proof mark. I measured and based on this, it is a PST 104. Thanks again!
