EDIT: I just found out this was announced in early August.

They are supposed to make the official unveiling at DEMA in October....maybe with more makers offering HP steel, the prices will come down!

Gotta love a competetive market

perhaps now that PST has announced the extension of the exemption (man i sound like a poet!!) on the E series tanks, Faber feared everyone was goingnto run out and buy PST. shrewd marketing if that is the case...

And "DOT exempt"! Mustmean they never need hydros!

"the F-x series provides increased flexibility with size and volume to maximize “bottom time”.

Does this mean when you need more air you unfold the tank?

If the price was right I would have a problem buying one.

Anyone seen the specs on these tanks? Weights, etc? I was about to make a deal on a friend's used set but wanted to know if waiting might be best.

Faber was pitching these last DEMA. Apparently they are the same dimensions and specs as the PST's and the new Worthingtons, but they have a painted coating (Like other Faber tanks) rather than the galvanized.

Saw a couple of these at my LDS. Just paint, no Hot Dipped Galvanized Finish. No Thermo Valve, just some junk valve from Italy. My LDS doesn't even have parts for this valve. And the boot is soft plastic that traps water and rusts out the bottom of the tank. I'll stick with my PST tanks and Thermo valves.
