Thanks for the help guys. Here is a link to Wyatt's page about gas matching that I found as a result of this discussion.

Thanks for the help.

I tried them already. They are back ordered and have no idea when they will get them. Also, since it is an Atomic part the guy said they couldn't send them to me mail order.

I think I might have an LDS who is going to be able to get it for me.

Call Bert Wilcher at Tampa Adventure Sports. He is a dealer and has a long hose on his Atomic primary. 813-989-3483.

capacity/(rated pressure/100)

so double:
AL80s = 5cf/100 psi
Lp85s/hp100s = 6cf/100psi
lp95s/hp119s = 7cf/100 psi
lp108s/hp130s = 8 cf/100 psi

for the tanks in question
35*8 = 280cf

Close enough for planning/gas matching
 
Two questions.

Also, I have an Atomic B2 regulator that I need to fit with a 7 foot hose. It has a unique fitting on the end that goes in to a swivel...I am trying to avoid an adapter to eliminate another failure point. Anyone know where I can get a 7 foot hose for an Atomic regulator. My web searches haven't turned up to much.

I have put long hoses on a B2, Z1, Z2. they will accept a standard regulator hose. The Atomic hose with the swivel will unscrew right off the reg, I think there is a rubber ring to pull out of the way. the reg itself has a longer than standard male fitting to accommodate the swivel end. I just pulled mine out of my box to verify, there is an extra threaded collar that goes on to the male fitting of the reg before the hose goes on. this may be under a rubber boot on the B2 hose, I can't remember. I'm pretty sure its not really needed though other than to possibly protect threads or for cosmetic purposes.

you can purchase a 7' hose from atomic with the swivel on it. I think the retail price is $1,999,99.00. you won't need it.

I had a Z1 and I put a regular 7' hose on it.

Consider ditching your swivel on the second stage, with a 7 foot hose you shouldn't need it and its just adding a failure point.
