PMI 68ci Fibre Tank or PMI 72ci Alloy Tank

Hi

I'm not sure which to get they are both pre-set 3000psi. I will be on a remote set up.

Whats the difference of fibre and alloy apart from looks and weight. Grateful for you recommendations.

Fiber-Wrapped- Lighter, and Look Much cooler. Max Life Of Tank, 15 years.

Alloy Tank-Heavier than Fiber-Wrapped. Doesn't look as nice, but, looks arent really everything. Max. Life of Tank, Unlimited.

My opinion. If you're going to go into the touney scene, and be serious about it, get a fiber wrapped tank. The weight matters. If the tank is for woodsball and the like, just get the Alloy tank, just because it will take the dings, and dents that a fiber-wrapped tank cannot. Since you will be running a remote, looks aren't the top priority. I'd go for function over fashion. E-mail with any other questions.

howdy, be carefull when buying fibre wrapped tanks, make sure the wrapp is perfect, and there are no abnormalities, also if you "ding" the tank and it damages the glaze you may have probs getting it past hpac or even getting it serviced ? i have a '8 5000 pmi tank which is v light, and a .8 3000 nitro duct t6 tank,
the metal one is slightly heavier, but to be honest you would need to be very limp wristed too worry about it lol, you get used to the weight anyho


cheers

shop around mate fibre tanks are great for tourney, but if you play forrest games where you may end up bashing tanks of trees etc an aloy one may be better, there again, dye do rhino covers for fibre tanks which are very very good
