This is one for all of you guys who own skuba tanks. I want to buy one but i don't know what size to get. I will be sharing the use and cost with another 2 people so what would be an appropiate size? Any advise would be good.

I concur with Tom.
I've just got myself a 12L, 232 bar (3000psi) tank and it's pretty good to have. What sort of use is it for? Is it just gonna be a backup air source, air for testing modifications (like myself) or your primary source for air?
so if i had a 15 litre tank and a 1.1 bottle would i literally get about 13 fills from it or is that a silly question.
No, because the pressure drops proportionally with the amount of fills you take.so if i had a 15 litre tank and a 1.1 bottle would i literally get about 13 fills from it or is that a silly question.
i have a 232 bar dive tank, obtained from a dive shop in fenny stratford milton keynes. the place is worth a look as you pay upfront for about 15 air fills and the tank is free....it works out about the same price as a dive tank from other places but has the advantage of not needing to pay for fills the first few times...
i usually get about 4-6 fills in the 4000psi range and then it drops off giving about another 6-8 in and around the 3000psi range...then lower and lower.
