Subject: Re: kevlar tanks ?
Aldo,
the ones I have seen where covered with a heavy duty "laquer" ( don't
know wether powder coated of PU, or...

Your concern to water getting to the fibers seems valid, but may be much
more to glass fibers than to kevlar ones. 
However, a failure mode of the tanks, in case of kevlar, has been
described to me as " seeping bubbles out of the kevlar layers...."

So perhaps I will not be the first one to use such a tank, though f.i.
the use of the small 2 l 300bar Draeger sphaeroids in the Mark 15 seems
alluring.
regards
Matthias
