Today I acquired a couple of old scuba tanks that haven’t been used since the early 90’s. I’ll do a visual inside and see if they are worth getting a hydo done. But im unable to figure out what volume of tanks they are and figured i’d ask on here before doing a volume measurement and some math lol. They look similar in size to an lp95 but are rated to 1800psi with the + on the first hydro. Born in 1977. Let me know if you recognize the size!

I do like the ScubaPro valve with built in gauge, unfortunately I can't help you with the tank, as I've not seen an 1800# tank with a standard scuba valve.
 
Size is always hard to judge from a picture. At least the one you photograph from close-up appears to be a Worthington cylinder. Unfortunately the data I have for their 1800psi cylinders only goes to 8.0L. I would assume your cylinders are bigger, but maybe you have any luck with the below.

Water Capacity (L)Working Pressure (Bar)Diameter (mm)Length (mm)Empty Weight (Kg)
