hi guys,
i just arrived from europe and now i've got some questions about tanks.
i am looking for an high pressure steeltank with din valve, where i can use my own equipment with 2 seperated fist stages. i've got apeks regulators and their first stage can handle a pressure about 4350 psi (300bar).
now some problems and questions occured:
1.
looking in different i could see several tanks with an huge variety of maximum pressure. so i found low pressure tanks, high pressure tanks, tanks with 3000 psi max, 3300 psi max, then i could see fanks with 3000psi but their max pressure should only be 2400psi... . this seems to me beeing chinese. who can give me a good explanations about this?
2.
cheap places to buy tanks. who knows good shops? reccomandations, please.
3.
valves, i've had scubapro valves, which valves are the good ones in the U.S?
tanksize shlould be 80cu ft or 100 cu ft. i am used to dive with a steeltank from faber, size 12l with 232bar (3365 psi). if i am right, 80 cu ft should be aprox. equal to this size, isn't it?
