Exploded tank

[Gotenks]

don't worry, seriously.

After seeing this pic 2 years ago, I still had used my steelie all this time.

I do plan on selling it though..... cause it's so heavy.

If ALL the tanks were defective, they woulda did a massive recall, that guy just happened to run into some bad luck.

There is a thread...an old old one, that linked to a page that showed an accident at a dive shop in florida. A guy was filling an 80cf scuba tank and it blew. It was aluminum and the thing was just shredded.

I'll have to see if I can find the thread.

I believe that on the site they noted the fact that there is enough energy in an 3000psi 80cf scuba tank to lift a fire truck 60 ft into the air. That's some serious energy!

What a waste of a tank lol, I woulda taken it...

[fire1811]

the safe enviroment they are talking about im sure is like
the one we fill are firefighting tanks in

there are 3 steel tubes the bottles(if your filling 3 bottles at once) slide into, it is only exposed on the top where they slide in. after u put them in they stand vertical and then you close a diamond plate door.

so if they blow they are contained to the steel tubes.

Well, when I'm filling my tank I never have it towards me. Always have the back faceing in a safe direction. Just to be safe.

keyword: 80 CF

so if were working with ci, then the firetruck should only go 1/12 of that distance

so your 88 ci's out there can blow a firetruck over 12 feet into the air then

Hey, whats that mass of hair flesh on the right side of the blown 68? Its scaring me...
