>Subject: ScubaPro Faber Tanks-Paint Bubbles and Rust
>Date: 7 Aug 2000 08:18:53 -0400
>
>We had a group of individuals CA, FL, NY, & NJ joint us for the weekend of
>diving out of Virginia Beach (Trip reports to follow). One very interesting
>discovery upon removal of my tank boots was rust.
>
>Tanks: are SCUBAPRO steel 95s, white, and about three years old.
>
>Care: these tanks are VIP as required, washed off with fresh city water
>after every dive (even quarry/lake), and stand up in my garage when not in
>use.
>
>Result: The paint under the boots hass bubbled and formed pockets for the
>salt water to collect. I do not know if the paint and water react under the
>paint as it does in fiberglass boats or not to form an acid compoound. I
>hope someone out there, in the knows, has the answer to that. It has cause
>some extensive surface rust (already had two opinions from technicians on
>this).
>
>Several other sets of tanks have been checked and found to have similar
>conditions with different ages and manufacting date/group. OMS versions, on
>a limited check group, appear not to have this problem.
>
>If you have SCUBAPRO tanks with boots on, remove and check for rust ASAP.
>
>Now what is the best preparation and painting to stop this and preserve the
>metal?
