And that’s why traceable back to to manufacturer-supplied document matters to me. It’s possible those are swapped. It’s possible that the tank is floaty with and without gas, and the negative means positive buoyancy. Or, it’s possible it’s flat-out wrong.

At least with the manufacturerer-supplied document, you know who to bug. And usually, those documents are much more detailed than a simple cut and paste onto a sales web page.
Think Faber would supply a proper document with the water volume if someone emailed them? Thats a currently produced/sold cylinder, its a shame we can't include it on the list (yet)
 
This is the cylinder in question with data from a Faber database (with rounded values):
Water Capacity (L)Working Pressure (Bar)Diameter (mm)Length (mm)Weight (Kg)Freshwater Buoyancy Full (Kg)Freshwater Buoyancy Empty (Kg)Freshwater Real Weight (Kg)Seawater Buoyancy Full (Kg)Seawater Buoyancy Empty (Kg)Seawater Real Weight (Kg)Standards
5.02371404506.7-2.2-0.95.9-2.1-0.76.0DOT / TC EXEMPTION
5.02371404506.7-2.2-0.95.9-2.1-0.76.0DOT EXEMPTION

So yes, they mixed up the full and empty buoyancy.
 
After @tmassey contacted, I figured he might not be the only one interested in this.
Attached the specifications for a whole lot of Faber cylinders. The imperial values of the U.S. and Canada market cylinders have been converted and rounded to metric units (Sorry "Imperialists" ;))
