LP Scubapro tanks

[OldNSalty]

I am still looking for some tanks and I found a set that the guys says are scubapro LP but that is about all he knows. He says they are about 2 feet tall and 25" around. My question is, did scubapro make a variety of different capacity tanks or just one. I am trying to ID them so I can determine if I want to make an offer.

They are black with white writing but out of hydro. Last hydro was 2001 he said but was plus rated back then.

25" circumference == 8" diameter

24" tall == kinda of short

LP95

QED

That's what I thought but I wanted someone else to check me on that. Thanks. He said he would consider a swap-my 2 Al100's for his steel tanks

That swap is a no brainer in my book. I never liked the AL100s. If swapping check what valves are on the LP cylinders, keep / take which ever you like best.

Faber made a few sizes for scubapro during that time period, but an 8" diameter, a 24" length and a 2400 psi service pressure is consistent with an LP 95.

The other major sizes SP sold were a short 3000 psi steel 72 about 20" in length and a 7.25" in diameter, and a 75.8 that would be about 29" tall with a 7" diameter. Early tsanks were a plain silver galvanized finsih and later tanks were either white with blue lettering or black with white lettering.

Like W.C. Fields said.....

I would jump at the chance to get rid of two AL100s...I'd trade for almost anything outside of Lady Gaga tickets.

Hi DA.

MP 72 (71.4 at 3300 psi): height 20.47"+/-.05, diameter 6.84"+/-.05. I own four of them, but I'm quoting from the 1987 Scubapro catalog.

Those 2400 psi 75.8's (at 2640) are 6.76"+/-.05 in diameter. I own two, but again quoting from the catalog.

Scubapro also distributed some other Faber tanks back then, in addition to these and the LP95: Slim 60.6 psi (I'd love to double up a pair of these) and slim 71.4 psi.
