cylinder sizes for inspiration

Jim Culter · 3rd May 2007, 17:26

I will soon take delivery of an Inspiration Classic. I would like to replace the UK 3l tanks with US DOT approved tanks. My question of other Inspiration users is what other size tanks will fit into the case. Is there room in the case for 4 inch or 4.5 inch diameter bottles? I can obtain aluminum bottles and steel Worthington tanks at a very good price but do not know the limiting dimensions.

Has anyone substituted other bottle sizes.

Thanks

Jim

Id be surprised. I seem to remember the three ltr tanks being very snug in there.

Get a decent frame for it and run what ever tanks you like.
