WTB: Faber 85 and 45 cu ft tanks
I'm looking for a pair of used Faber 85LP/100HP cu ft tanks and a pair of used Faber 45LP tanks. Hydro current preferred and clean inside. I'm not particularly concerned with the state of the external finish.

I plan to use them for side specific bailout/stage duty, so a pair of doubles with modular 200 bar DIN fittings works fine, especially if you still have the manifold plugs.

Thanks,

Paul
 
I am guessing you have discovered that PST 45's or Faber 45's can be hard to find new and in stock at present and can be a bit pricey.

I have a pair of both (Umm...no, I'm not selling them) and both are very similar in terms of size, weight and bouyancy. PST 45's are about a pound heavier (19 versus 18 punds) and are -0.5 when empty as opposed to 0.0 for the Faber 45's. Internal volumes differ by only a fraction of a cubic foot (.247 versus .253) and the total volume differences when full are less than a half cu ft with the slight edge going to the PST's.

So you may not want to limit your search to just Fabers.
 
I have a OMS 45 I am going to be selling, but shipping is the question.
 
JUst and FYI for any who may not know, Faber made the 45's for OMS.
