Subject: Re: European Tanks

I can't believe that ISO stands for the International Standards Organization,
could however.
The V stands for volume and then the 10 for 10 liters.
Druckluft translates to Air pressure TG stands for Bottle  
I'm not sure about the 300, if the screw is not standard ?, because the 
200 Bar is definately the allowed pressure.
But Richard is correct, no manufacturer. Doesn't say Farber or anything ?
