New tanks for my Meg

brunospf · 10th April 2008, 20:43

Hi all,

I´m using the Faber FX 23 steel tanks in my Meg, but they are heavy to travel with the unit.

What type of cylinders I can use for travels ? I think Luxfer 14cf/2000 PSI it´s a good choice.

thanks

Bruno

Hi,

If you use cam bands instead of Shadow Mount or Tiger Mount, you can use virtually any tanks. So you can rent them locally rather than travelling with them ;-)

Cheers

Yes, The AL14s are a great choice for that. There are a few threads on that in the archives. They weigh less than the 13s even though they are a bit longer. Service pressure is 2640psi. I never checked the 19s, you may want to compare them as well.
Best

Just travelled with the AL14's and had no problems with doing so. Nice and light, put them (3) into a carry-on bag (checked) and continental never weighed the bag assuming it must be light.

Just remember to tell the fill station they are LP's.
