Skuba tanks

ok boys and girls lets not get carried away from the original post.
As Tom Allan says the best one to get is a 15ltr 300 bar as this will fill your bottle to 4500psi but after a couple of fills it will drop and keep on doing so.
You can get a 15 ltr but they are harder to get hold of as thay have to be ordered directly from germany and they are more expensive.

The 232 bar tank will only fill your bottle to a maximum of 3000psi and again after a few fills will drop and keep on doing so.
I only know cos i ma training to be a off shore comercial diver!

you are best of posting in the wanted section for a 12ltr 300 bar dive tank im sure some one will have one.

Hope this helps
Chaaaaaars

thanks for the posts guys, if i used this 15 litre tank, would it be ok for three people? or should we be looking at getting a couple of tanks?

It depends how long you are playing for, you will be able to get a few fills out of it (with the obvious drop in pressure) but it wont last 3 people very long if you need to re-fill after every game

More tanks needed

I think you'll need a couple of 12L 232bar tanks to bulk fill from. You can use these to fill to say 2000-2500psi, and then top up with the 300bar tank.

3 guys using a single 15L 300bar tank would quickly drop the fill pressure to the point where you'll struggle to get more than 1500psi in the guns.

I also got a 12l 300Bar tank from the dive shop in Fenny Stratford.

I ended up with something like 60 free fills having paid for the tank You even get a free test, for the cost of 10 fills

Not having to pay for air or tests is definitely the way forwards!
