    It's defective and unsafe, you should send it to me immediately and forget all about it.

    Could that be where your tank cover ends, and the change of weathering begins?

          How many dogs or cats have you ever seen just pee in a circle like that... lol


          does it feel like there is a difference in the fiber when you rub your finger over it, a ridge? a dip? scuffy?

              I think I have those on my tank too. It kind of looks like a yellow highlighter mark?

                Yes it looks like a highlighter. The yellow it a lot brighter then it is in the pictures. Have you had them on your tank for long?

                  Looks like a Crossfire tank, right? It might be a good idea to call them and see what they think about it, but I doubt it is anything to worry about.

                    Don't ask us. Ask a professional.

                    But, look at page 15 of this:http://hazmat.dot.gov/exemptions/E13105.pdf

                    Discoloration may be a sign of heat damage meaning the cylinder is now unserviceable/dangerous.

                    DON'T FLASH FILL!!
                    One filling procedure:http://www.survivair.com/techbulletins/TB103.pdf

                    This document and others all warn to fill at a maximum of 500 psi per minute. There are numerous warnings against fast/flash filling.

                      Not something I wanted to hear, but oh well I'll jsut give crossfire a call. As for the flash filling I always try to fill my tank as slow as possible, but the lines for air a D-Day where just to long for me to do it.

                        Could it be paintstains. Ive seen on some older tanks where people let paint sit on it and it stains.

                              Gah, everyone in here is being paranoid. Don't worry about it. That happens to every tank I have ever owned.

                              It is just staining from paint. I could go back and find pink, yello, green, you name it on the top of all my tanks where the tank cover ends.
