Adding to the current thread, anyone have the metric volume of the LP-120
from PST? I'm confused, because I don't know if this figure refers to
2400psi pressure, or plus 10%, 2640psi.

TIA

Regards
Fabricio

| Now I'm completely confused!  The pst site has these figures:
| LP-104	104 CU.FT.	8.00	26.19	45 LBS	-0.7 LBS
|
| which would make a set of doubles only 1.5 pounds negative!
|
| Are we talking about the same tank?
