Crossfire has always been extremely good to me about helping with any problems I have ever had with tanks - contact them and I expect they will help you out, assuming there is not a cause of this problem that is your fault.

See this is why you should get you own scuba tanks and do the fills yourself. That way you could do it safely and and be able to chaeck on you tank out more often.

I would also post this to the Crossfire forum over @ PBN. They have a few of the Crossfire techs over there -- they are real good at helping out.

At the field I attend we always fill the tanks supper slow. Sometime we are foreced to make the fill over 4min becasue we have a booster and so when we barely have any air left in the tank it has to go through a harch recompressing or something like that. We may not always fill 3min fills every time but we try to put it in slow.Originally posted by Steelrat

Hmm, I nevber knew filling fast was bad.....umm not good.
Wjem my shop fill my tank and wjhen I fill it we just open the tank all the way up ( 6k psi tank) and slow done just before then get it just right.....no wonder it cools down buy 500 psi when I get home....EviL-
Oh come Hither my Evil friends. Let us dance upon our MINION of pure EviL apon the sup air ball field. Let us give thanks for this EviL OMEN that the Lord AVATAR has given to us. Let us crawl apon this wicked earth, converting the people to our HEATHEN ways, let us PIMP them with our SCION. Let us be faithfull till Judgement day, when EviL shall finally RULE THE WORLD.

This is why when i ran the air shed at CPX i would a.) fill as slow as i could, and b.) tell people to remove their tank covers before filling. FLash fills are bad enough for the tank, and the tank covers only trap heat further and can potentially cause the carbon fiber to come appart.Black/Red Tribal 2.0 BBT, Morlock board, 90* Angel Space frame, to many goodies to list.

That tank looks fine to me. The bubbles are just in the epoxy. The epoxy just protects the fibres, it doesn't provide any structure to the tank. The butt of the tank is usually a little messy looking... just because of the way the fibres are wrapped.
But, if you're concerned, call Crossfire. If you're REALLY concerned, have it hydro-tested.

We have 'flash fill' stations at the field where I play, but I usually try to fill about 1,000 psi at a time, let the tank cool for ~10 seconds, then put in another 1,000 until it's full. Or, if I'm using my 4500 psi tank, I'll 'flash fill' it to 3000 and then take it up to 45 slowly. Does doing any of this make a difference, or do I need to wait longer (or better yet, turn down the output pressure on the fillstation?)
Sorry if I took the thread off topic, but I think others could benefit from this information as well, and I think it's still relavent to the issue at hand.Comment
