The only tanks i could find were LP108 and LP120 (both behemoths of tanks) going positive, i thought had seen more around, particularly from someone like OMS/Faber, but cant find the info off hand beyond this site. No question is stupid (well almost no question), but it looks like maybe i made another slightly leading statement above, i might have to stop posting about tanks for a while ;)

We've already determined that I was in error.

I admitted the error of my ways 13 posts ago in #20.

I will tackle this issue again. Faber does not make a cylinder greater than 7" diameter that goes to 4000 psi for anyone in the world. The do make a version that resembles a steel 85. When you look at the manufacturers drawing and compare the weight the HP version weights 10 more pounds than our version.

Just because your getting away with it does not mean it is safe

Sorry about the 4K as I said I was rounding but this is the same cylinder that you buy in the US

171 300 16.6 BS5045 P.1+ LATEST AMENDMENTS E
12 171 300 17.5 EUROPEAN REGULATIONS For EU see Note for PED Directive
12 171 300 18 EN 1964-1:1999 For EU see Note for PED Directive
12 171 300 18 EN 1964-1:1999 (PED) Approved PED 97/23/EC

The 300 is the bar rating straight from the Faber web site.

171mm is less than 7". 8" would be 203mm.

I don't see anything in an 8" over 232 bar there.

I stand corrected now that I have looked at it more closely. Faber changes the model # slightly & I did not catch it. You are correct it is a different cylinder. I was not paying attention to the diameter. My apologies.
