Worthington and Heiser are part of the same company now aren't they? So I'd imagine there is an equivalent.

Anyway, I managed to get another courtesy of Anke (thanks).

Can anyone out there provide the remaining specs for the Heiser Dumpy 3L? I've searched high and low and can't find them. Oh, and are these tanks lacking the DOT class for use in the U.S?

Dia.=4.61" (117mm)
Hieght=15.55" (395mm)
Weight?
Bouyancy Full?
Bouyancy Empty?
Working pressure?

Thanks,

Richard

Weird, I've just checked mine and they are both different specs. One is made 2002, the other 2004. The 2002 vintage is stamped 3.77kg and the 2004 is stamped 4.28kg. When you look side by side they are very slightly different shape around the neck and you can feel a slight weight difference. Both are working pressure 232bar. You can work out the buoyancy at www.subaqua.co.uk with the calculator.

Cheers,

Stuart

Thanks for that link and info Stuart. But, do these Heiser tanks lack a DOT class for use in the U.S.? My thinking is yes but I just want to confirm it.

Thanks,

Richard

Packet,

The ones we use in europe will of course lack a DOT stamp, since DOT doesnt apply over here. You'd have to contact your local reseller of Heisers to find out the 'merkin story
