Quick Question - Tanks

does this mean that this tank is not a 200 psi tank ??

not sure what the specific manufacturer of that tank goes by but the industry safety rating is usually 3X. That means if the tank is rated for 150 it will burst at 450. Ive seen 3 of those chrome tanks blow tho.

there was a thread a long time back about chrome tanks blowin up. one had a pic of a dude's truck lid blown off. something about the chroming process and rust inside the tank or something.

ok well does anyone know any website that has chrome 4 1/2" port tanks ? cuz ive check so many websites and cant find em

I would recommend buying a firestone DOT rated tank, and color matching it to your truck. Chrome sucks all the was around.
1) not dot legal
2)Hydrogen embrittlement. During the chrome plating process the metal actually can become brittle and crack like glass under pressure.
3) Rust. Chrome will rust. Especially the cheap chrome they put on those tanks.
4) Danger!!!

so... where can i get a chrome tank?

Try gauge store. Hope they dont blow up on ya.


Why not go w/ a polished stainless, they're not much more

thanks, but the answer i was looking for was 'the dumpster'

i have a 5 gal 4- 1/2" port tank... running 200psi... no problems "yet"...
