Made Switch From AL 80 to LP 95..

[AquaGuy]

I have just purchased two new pressed steel LP 95 tanks. From what I hear, you can overfill them to 2640 (10% Overfill). I assume I will get to take off about 6 lbs of weight which is great! I have a question about the 1000 psi rule that I use for AL 80's. Since I will be using a LP 95, it seems like 1000 psi a little too early to be turning the dive around at. Is it correct to take 1/3 of 2640 (880 psi) and make that the new turn around pressure?

Thanks

I want to get two LP 95s...where'd you get them and how much? I currently have no tanks and always dive dry, so the extra weight and air will be appreciated.

Leisurepro sells them for about $260 (although they seem out of stock right now), or if you want something local, try B&M distributing in East Providence. He's got tons of stuff at VERY reasonable prices, including tanks. He doesn't normally stock PST, I think, but said he could order them if I really wanted (was there on Sat., asking almost the same question, except for 100HPs). Probably would still run you <$300 if you go through him.

I purchased mine through Sports Chalet locally here in San Diego. Cost was $250.00 each. Pretty good price.
