This does not relate to me as I use good quality carbon fiber tanks and not some unknow aluminum Ebay special...moving on.

Careful when filling

Yea, there is always that "guy"?
In my opinion, this whole story is nothing more than a fabrication? I saw it from the start! LOL
Example) Old crappy bottle, max PSI rating changed from 6,000 to 5,500, no stamped picture of PSI rating. Clearly, no hardcore facts that made any sense.

This post is a troll. Several years ago someone on this forum posted about a gold filter that "exploded". There was a straight line crack which implied there was a welded seam that failed. Thee are no seams on an aluminum filter. Tanks, filters and compressors need to be treated with caution but these scare tactic exploding posts don't stand up to questioning.

"Guy lost part of his leg"? What guy? Where did this info come from? This is freaking ridiculous. Pretty sure almost EVERYONE who saw the initial post assumed this happened to OP's tank. I lost the fingers on my right hand while filling last week but they're almost fully grown back, probably be 100% by Saturday. (Two stories of equal truth 
)

Which part? Upper? Lower? Middle?
Was it the left or right leg?
Speaking of legs, mine is getting longer, please stop pulling it so hard.

But you can not make a decision till all the facts are in, There is little to no info on this,

I may be missing something here, so forgive me if I am, but someone mentioned a gun or two that was coming out with a >3600 psi aluminum cylinder. You have to remember that smaller, say less than 2.5" cylinders can handle way more pressure than a large diameter tank. If you read the certifications for manufactured pressure vessels, anything less than 2" in diameter, with properly certified engineering specs, never needs redtesting in the US. That is because of the small diameter "rule". So it's not surprising that a gun with a slim, (not a bottle) tube, could conceivably be rated at a higher pressure. My question would be how would you fill a 7500psi gun?

I'm going to convert these to become my filling station. With the name Encore they've got to be rated for at least 5,000.....

"I heard it was the third or better known as the middle leg"
So, a very minor explosion then....

See tank picture in initial post on this "alternative facts" clown show. It's a large tank. THAT'S what the discussion is really about. Not whether a gun can have a HP aluminum reservoir.
