[PSUBS-MAILIST] scuba tanks

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

The typical 80cuft Al scuba tank is 1.5lbs negative in seawater when full containing about 5.9lbs of air.  Completely empty they are 4.4lbs positive in seawater.  Generally, you do not empty an air tank while diving.

Hi Hank, I happen to have one of my 80cf 3000 psi alum tanks full, left over from Tahoe. So set her in the pool and its less than a lb negative. unfortunately both my tanks are full at the moment, not sure what its like empty.

Hi All,

I just bought two new aluminum scuba tanks to replace my steel HP tank on Gamma.  I am curious if I can get a fitting for the tank to eliminate the valves.  I don't need to remove the tanks and would like to just plumb them in.  Also, I assume they are neutrally bouyant

 when full ?

Hank
