I have Faber steel "lightweight" tanks.

15l / 232 bar  =  TARE 16.4kg
10l / 232 bar  =  TARE 11.3kg
 7l / 232 bar  =  TARE  8.2kg

I had great dificulty finding the 7l/232bar tanks two years ago.
They seem to be completely superceded in the UK by the 300bar versions (11kg)

Does anyone know of a UK supplier who can get 7l/232bar Faber steels?

Also, 10l / 300 bar / 14kg Faber steels are now on sale.

On the subject of Ally vs Steel, I was always led to believe that Ally was your
long life choice due to internal corrosion resistence, and steel had the
best Air/Weight ratio.
