Do fiber wrapped N2 tanks shrink when they are 100% empty?

What do you mean?

I did a little checking on the nitrogen question that really had little to do with this original post, and my source agreed with me and then told me to shut up. Nitrogen is also used, I'm told, by airlines in the tires of jets specifically to avoid excess moisture inside the tires. Live and learn. Impress your friends.

There is one thing that everyone is forgetting. If you use compressed air from a scuba tank or a scuba compressor then it does not contain the normal percentage of humidity found in the air for the area in which you live.

The compressors remove moisture specifically for the purpose of tank preservation. If you scuba dive then you know this from the nasty dry mouth you get from diving.

That is why if you keep some pressure in the tank then it will keep the additional moisture outside the tank, outside the tank.

very good example.

The overpressure also keeps DIRT out.

It won't be a noticable amount, a couple thousands of an inch if that.

Another reason the airlines keep nitrogen in the tires is that it is a nonflammable gas.
