PST HP 100 3500psi ?

[tattooedjeeper]

Maybe someone here can help me...I just picked up a PST hp 100 3500psi tank born in 2001 and its 2 inches taller than my al80 (valves not included in the measurement) I was under the impression that the hp 100 should be shorter than my al80. I looked around and found this chart Scuba Cylinder Specification Chart from Huron Scuba, Ann Arbor Michigan According to this chart my tank, if it's a hp 100, should be 2 inches shorter than my 80....that being said the hp120 3500psi from PST is the same measurement of the tank i just bought, two inches taller and the same diameter of the al80. is it anyway to decode the numbers on the tank and figure it out or am I just missing something really obvious? Any help is appreciated!

Congrats on your new 120.

Thanks! I was pretty sure that I had gotten lucky but, needed another set of eyes to make sure I wasn't missing something. Today was good, I actually got two of those tanks from him. Both with good hydro and current visual as well.

You would much rather have a HP 100. It trims out better. I'll be a sport and take that 120 off your hands........

I agree with Kwinters. I'll be driving through Fayetteville next Saturday and can take that to the scrapyard for you, free of charge!

Jokes aside, yes....an HP100 will be shorter than an AL80 by a couple of inches. An HP120 will be taller by a couple. Congrats on your awesome tanks!
