Questions about this item:
Paul R I have previously dived comfortably with 15 liter steel tanks.
What is the actual fill capacity in bar.
what is the the actual size needed to work out SAC?(14.7?)
Are the tanks ready to connect up occy's?
What is the postage/courier fees?
If the rating is 3442 is this worked out by multiplying 15 liter by 230 bar?
So what is the actual capacity of the 19 liter? (18.6?) Paul R
Brett H This cylinder comes with what they call a pro valve, it is both a Din and K valve in one, so your regulator should fit regardless of the fitting that it has. As for the sizing on the cylinders, if you click the "select size" to the right of the picture you will see all the sizes we have available, we have both the 15 and 19 liter versions available. Here is a chart that will show you the spec's on each of the tanks: http://www.leisurepro.com/PopUp/SizeChart.aspx?chart=FBRHP.ASCX . We do not charge any taxes but your country may when the item gets there, that said, to Au generally there are no customs if the order is under $1000, you will want to check with them to be sure.
Brett H This cylinder fills to 234.14 Bar (3442 psi / 14.7). Capacity is measured differently in US than Au, here our measurement of 120 cf, is when cylinder is full to it's working pressure of 3442 psi then it is holding 120 cubic feet of air at sea level. Your measurement of 15.3 liters is how much water the cylinder will hold. The cylinders ship with the valve off as is required by UPS, USPS and FedEX. To calculate shipping add the item to your cart and then on the cart page select the destination to get shipping options and prices.
Paul R Appreciate your quick response. Will look at my budget, your postage costs. Any problem with customs or other?
What about the type of valve? I hear there are two kinds--is it DIN and k or something? I am still unsure what size the tank is. As a new diver I usually have hired 10 liter ones and run out, so went to 15 liters and pretty comfortable--though would be nice to stay down longer-and realize I will get better as I get more experience--so far only 50 dives. Which is why I got excited when I saw 19 litres!!! Regards Paul
Paul R Hi again Brett. unsure if my second reply to you went off as I see no record?
I wanted to know if your tank could be classified here in Australia as a 15 Lt or is it indeed a 19Lt--which would be great due to my sucking up air at my early diving career (50 dives) Are the valves the type that are ok in Australia and ok for standards occy? Are you aware of any legal problems in having a 19 litre? Any custom charges?
Thanks Paul
ed k what is the highest fill pressure that can be attained on this HP tank?
LARRY M 3400 PSI, Most dive boats fill to 3000
TIMOTHY D According to the Faber website, these tanks can be filled to 3442psi
JOSE D The rating for this tank is 3442psi. but most shops only fill them to 3000psi.
The best fill I have ever gotten was 3200psi.
DYLAN B 3,442 pounds per square inch. As a high-pressure tank overfilling is not permitted.
Shopper What are the buoyancy characteristics of the 100 Blue steel Farber?
LeisurePro S The 100 cu tank has a buoyancy of -8.41 when full and -0.59 when empty.
Shopper What is the empty weight of the cylinder?
LeisurePro S The 80cu has a weight of 28.6 pounds and the 100cu has a weight of 34.3 pounds.
Shopper Do these come with current hydro/vip?
LeisurePro S We cannot ship with tanks with valves attached, so you will have to get a vip when you receive the tank. The tank is guaranteed to pass or we will do a no cost to you exchange.
Shopper are these tanks (DOT E-13488) or (DOT 3AA)? The Buoyancy characteristics are different between the two.
LeisurePro S These are DOT E-13488.
Shopper how do i know if i should get a low or high presure tank???
LeisurePro S It depends on your preference. I would scour the internet for forums and comparison charts (there are lots!) to help you make your final decision, but I will tell you that the main difference is in the size and fill capacity. HP tanks tend to be shorter and smaller than LP tanks, but some people often comment on the difficulty in getting a good fill with HP tanks (especially with mixed gases). LP tanks are bigger and get good fills more often and in more places.
Shopper Could you send me the specifications of both models ?
LeisurePro S Here are the specifications on all Blue Steel tanks.
Shopper Do these tanks have a metric 25/2 mm thread or imperial _? or 7/8?? Also, are they available without valves as well? Thank you.
LeisurePro S 3/4" and comes with valves only
Shopper What size is this tank?
LeisurePro S You will need to select size from the size chart
Shopper Are these Blue Steel Faber Tanks zinc galvanized, or galvanized with paint? Also, what SIZE cu ft capacity are $229 tanks?
LeisurePro S You will need to select size from the size chart and galvanized with paint

Whats in the box:Faber Tank, Din/K type Valve, Tank Boot. If you are not using steel cylinders, try to use one and you will soon realize what you have been missing. Faber can offer you the most comprehensive range of cylinders for Scuba Diving. Every year we produce and sell around the world 100.000 cylinders for scuba diving (out of 600.000 in totals). No other manufacturer in the world can match our capabilities and the breadth of our range. Faber Tanks and valves are nitrox ready. Cylinders come equipped with a DIN/K type valve that easily converts back and forth depending on the type of First-Stage Regulator to be used in conjunction with the cylinder increasing the versatility of the tank. Steel cylinders are heavier then the same capacity aluminum cylinder. This characteristic has many advantages. The heavier construction allows the diver to remove lead weight from their weight belt or integrated weight system of the BCD, allowing the diver to better distribute weight by moving it to the rear of the BCD a great advantage when wearing a back inflation style (Wing) BCD. Aluminum cylinders as we breathe the weight of air from them create positive buoyancy at or near the end of a dive. The steel cylinder with its negative buoyancy throughout the dive allows you to shed the excess lead that is required to keep you properly trimmed while you dive an aluminum cylinder. Faber HP cylinders have a round bottom and come equipped with a cylinder boot.
