Tank Information

[John4455]

What information is stamped into a tank? Test date, manufacture date, etc.....

Sounds like someone is taking a quiz LOL!

Your first two choices are correct. What else would be good information to permanently affix to a tank?

No, not taking a quiz, but looking for some used tanks(maybe)
I've read that some dive shops won't fill older AL tanks. I've always rented tanks so I haven't really looked that much. Just wondering what all I should look for.
Do some people use scuba tanks to fill paint ball guns?

and yes some people do use them to fill paintball tanks

Max pressure rating?

Yes as well as type of material. There should be a bunch of threads around here discussing which tanks/materials you might want to avoid.

Serial number is another biggie

Is a steel HP 80 smaller than an AL 80, but holding the same amount of air, or more???

AL 80's are more like 77cf. Here is a table with lots of data, AL at top, steel at bottom.
