what make is my steel LP95?

[scottfiji]

I borrowed a steel LP 95 from someone, it has 2400 PSI stamped on it. It also has "GALV" stamped on it. Its an older tank.

Is there any way to tell who made the tank? (e.g. - OMS, Faber)

I don't have the tank in front of me, or I would post the serial numbers

thanks,
Scott

I would think it had a name on it. I had some tanks that took me awhile to figure out the make. They wound up being asihi or something like that from Japan. I found it stamped on them pretty small.

Post some pictures if you can.
Depending on age most fabers are painted white. OMS used faber but may have used a different finish. Asihi are galvanized silver looking. Worthington and PST for the most part are galvanized silver too.

OMS used Faber but the finish one those is a greyish version of the standard Faber white.

I have a scubapro tank. However the word "Faber" is stanpped on the tank. The paint is day-glow yellow with dolphins stenciled over the yellow paint. The tank has a scubapro boot and valve. My guess is that ANY painted tank, unless it is very old is a Faber. I do have one steel 72 from the 1960's that was sold as a "US Divers" tanl make by PST. It is painted, not hot dipped.

I have a black LP 95 tank that is very simalar. I cannot find the manufacturer's name anywhere on it.

Here is what the tank reads:

DOT-3AA2400 D382818<c> GALV

The <c> is actually in a little diamond looking thing.

There should be a MXXXX manufacturers number on your tank. What is the number?

hey guys,
Paint doesn't make it any particular.
I know a guy that powder coats metal items,
When I approached him to get a set of tanks refinished,
he claimed to have done several already.
Also said I could choose from a variety of avail colors.
So, paint is just paint and shouldn't be
relied upon 100% to pidgeon-hole the manufacturer.
