merxlin:Thanks in_cavediver, that is the point I was trying to make. If I can only get a 2450-2600psi fill, then an LP makes more sense, as it would have more c.f at that PSI. Now I have to do the math for larger capacity HP tanks, in the event I get off this boat and can get a higher PSI fill. Then they will make sense (if the numbers work out).
Yes, if you can only get fills of a given psi (1450) in your case, then an LP tank will give you more gas than an HP for the same rating (LP100 compared to HP100) BUT the LP tank will be physically larger and have different trim/buoyancy properties, so you aren't really comparing the same things.
