Subject: Re: Vehicles for diving
Yes a beer keg, or do you call it barrel ? The ones herever have a
capacity of 30 or 50 liter, is it 4,5 liters a gallon ?
Made of stainless steel, rated for at least 8 bar. You can use a
intermediate pressure reducer from toolshops, I have one which accepts
5- 60 bar and gives +1,5 to 10 secondary.

Visually, try to imagine those old oak barrels...that 's waht the
polyurethane foam is for, and isolation.

This stuff here will cost about USD 100 max.

having trouble visualizing what you mean.  The PU cover creates an airtight
seal capable of sustaining ~100 psi?
