Hey, considering buying these but don't know how to figure out what exactly they are. LP steel somethingings...seller says they are 104cf but i don't see that stamped on the tank anywhere. If you could help me figure out what all the markings are for future referance that would be rad as well thanks!

PST LP 3aa steel, measure the height and compare to the huron scuba tank chart, but they do look to be 104s

You are not showing us all the tank markings, just some. All would help. The first thing I see is that the tank on the right is certified for Transport Canada, not the US. That might make fills problematic.

You can just partially make out the US information if you zoom in (at least the 3AA 2400 portion of it)

But yes, missing the other half of the needed information...
 
curious to see if they have any other requalification, the born on date is 23 years ago..
 
PST LP104s born in July of 2002.

PSTs were made in Milwaukee and always DOT certified, plus its right there in the 2nd pic

Measuring the height (without the manifold) and diameter is the best way to tell. However I bet if you loosen and lower the lower band it will say it on the stickers.
 
They are PST 104s. Wonderful tanks to dive. Horrible to carry on land.

That is just one of the two tanks. The pic of the other tank doesn't show that...but it might be there, of course. Which is why I asked for pictures of ALL the markings.
