weight difference 45 vs 68 tank?

[Kevmag]

Can anyone tell me the difference in weight between fiber wrapped 68 and 45 tanks? Thanks - Kevin

In my amature opinion, it would seem to be ~ 50% heavier because there is ~ 50% more material making up the tank. But it's VERY early, 7:30am local time, so I could be mistaken. I'm drinking the coffee, but it hasn't kicked in yet. ;)

Let's just say the tank itself is 50% heavier (like 1.5 lbs. vs. 1 lbs), which i dont think it is, a lot of the weight is in the reg anyways, and the regs will weigh the same.

I'd guess around 5 ounces, totally random guess though :)

OK, with a little bit of caffine clarity, I'd go with Moss. My previous post was referring to the TANK, not the TANK + REG. In reference to the reg and the tank, I'd asy the weight difference would be negligable (sp).

Basing my opinions purely on comparing Geddons in a store the other day.... a 45/4500 is Tiny, 68/4500 is nice as all heck... and an 88, 90, and 114 are just big feeling..... even when not filled the 88 and 114 are just meaty in weight.

68/4500 should do ya nicely.
