oms steel high pressure tanks

[rtreefanatic]

wondering if anyone has experience with these tanks?
would $260 for a new 100 hp be a good deal?
any and all responses + or - would be appreciated.

Aren't the OMS tanks Fabers?

$260 is a good price as retail goes.

i don't believe so as they are hot dipped or hot sprayed galvanized. aren't fabers cold sprayed. i could be wrong though.
i hadn't heard of these tanks until i went to a different shop than my usual one.

my oms 100s are PSTs. so the $260 would be a good deal. of course i bought mine 2 yrs ago so i don't know who makes them these days.

Looks like a good price. My old OMS' are the spray coated Faber's, if these are hot dip Worthingtons, then definetly go for it.

Hi rtree.... If the tank in question is marked M8303 and 3aa-3180
that means there Faber Med. pressure 100's. I have a few of these tanks
and there very heavy in/out of the water. I dive these tanks in fresh
water and a 7mm suit, and a 3mm suit in salt w/o weight.

the tanks are rated at 100 cu. ft @ 3500 psi.

neg. 14.5 lbs full
about neg. 8 lbs empty.

no comment on the price, but a recent hydro would be nice.

Hey that was my first post yippie.
