scuba tanks

does anyone know anything about the scuba tanks on mautofied?

i dont knwo about on mautofied, but ive always wondered, im a diver myself, and a scuba tank holds a little over 3000psi of air, well with that much air is it possible to use one tank and never have to use an air compressor? just a thought but it would be pretty cool or different.

well jay a ton of people use scuba tanks and the trucks usually use the bigger ones but you should usually have a back up compressor in case you run out

here is a link to what im referring to http://www.mautofied.com/listing-100018422.html

a normal sized suba tank... if u regulate it at 160psi.. u get about 10min of continous play... at least thats what i got on mine.. but its like.. $5 a fill

aren't those a good deal tho depending on shipping 20 bucks?

a 80 cu ft. scuba tank will hold almost 600 gal of air. at 3,000PSI,

What I go by is ,a 80cu. ft. bottle is damn close to 5 gal about 5.23gal of air at 3,000PSI or 2500 depending on the fill.

at like volumes all you do is subtract pressure,

so for a 5 gal tank at 3,000PSI filling a 5 gal tank from 90-150PSI that is 60 PSI

so 2,500 - 60 = 2,4440 PSI

2500/60 = 41 fills at 60 PSI it is all relative to get rid of the tank size to fill factor use the bag 2600 bag about 0.5 gal

so 2,500 * 5 = X * 0.5

X =25,000 PSInow a bag from 0-150PSI can be filled 25,000/150 =166.

So you can fill one bag 166 times off one tank.or all 4 bag 41.5 times

hope that helps understand how long they last.

that is $0.12 every 4 bag fills ;)

well damn its prolly a good thing im a certified scuba diver and have about 40 tanks sitting here haha free fills for life too

you just have to watch when the aluminum tanks are dated. Some places won't fill them unless they have a current hydro test. I believe all steel tanks are ok. I just bought a new aluminum 80cf. Red

correct,

all scuba tank need a 1 year visual insp. and a 5 year hydrostat test. before they will even fill them.
