In the market for some air.. Looking at the carbon fibre variety.. Anyone seen any good deals lately for a decent tank?

I like you have been looking into air set ups and the best advice I have been given is to try different bottles with your marker and see which one feels right .

I picked up this Pmi from eBay.. £58 with postage.. is it a 0.74l size?.. is that unusual?.. Has to be hydro tested in 2015 I believe.

Not enough info in the picture for the test date

You should have a 'born date' and 'final date' with 15 years inbetween
The due test dates would be 5 year intervals, so if 2015 is right for the next test then either:
The born date is in 2010 and the final in 2025
Or
It has already been tested in 2010, and the next test is 2015

Ps at a price of £58 I would guess it has already gone through one 5 year cycle at least, so it either gets retested in 2015 to finalize in 2020 (you have paid a fair price) or 2015 is the final date (and you've only got 2 years life, so a reasonable-ish price based on a life cost of £200)

Thanks for the reply Tom.. Can you tell from the picture what size cover I might need?
Note - I've corrected a typo in my first post (2025 final date if made in 2010)
From the view I could not realy say the best size for the cover, some are more stretchy than others, and preferences vary - some people are content to stretch a cover to its limit on a very big bottle, but then its more awkward to view the dates when showing staff at a site.

Someone with the same cylinder may come on and recommend a cover.
