I have been interested in PST tanks for about 18 months now and when I have the need and money would like to buy a pair.
All of my information comes second hand
From dive shop owners I have asked, the only bad thing I have ever heard about them is they are next to impossible to get, except used.
Other things:
They relocated from their original plant in Milwaukee when they were what amounts to being kicked out of their plant. At that time they were manufacturing scuba cylinders using deep draw hydraulic presses, and had been the pioneers in the high pressure (3442 psi)market The were the ones who provided samples to DOT to get them on the market. It was their design and development. Their only cylinder which was unavailable was the 130cf which required a heavier press.
Since relocating their plant and reorganizing (similar name, new company) they have been concentrating on their other products and scuba tanks have taken a back seat.
A couple of years ago, I asked a LDS about ordering a tank and they said they were not available because of material shortages and mumbled something about "the damn war" I didn't believe it. We have gotten in bad shape if we can't get moly steel.
Another shop told me PST was at DEMA two years ago and had plans to get back into the scuba market. He also said they were not at last year's DEMA show.
The E series (some say experimental, others exempt) available today were copied (reverse engineered) from PST scuba tanks. They had to go through the same destruct testing.
some of the differences in PST are they are hot dipped galvanized,which i think is better than paint or electoplated They did not phosphate the inside as Faber does, which is better is debatable.
I hope PST comes back. I like them because they had(have) a good product, were the pioneers in high pressure tanks, and best of all are an American company.
