Okay guys, maybe i don’t know what I’m talking about, but I’ve got a 98 cu ft tank and i swear, I’ve seen YouTube videos with bigger CF bottles. Is this just my eyes playing tricks on me because the 98 cu ft is the biggest i can find!?!?

I thought my 98 cu ft (really 88 cu ft) was going to be bigger than it was when it showed up. Was really surprised by how small it is.

We use metric so I had to look up the L to CUFT conversion. I have 12L carbon bottle 300 bar, the free air would be 12x300 then giving 3600L, multiplying that by the listed conversion factor gives approximately 127CUFT.
Now I know that my 12L carbon tank is the biggest commercially availible in the market place produced anywhere in the world today, because I spoke direct to ACECARE who are the manufacturers in China along with Shenyang gas.
In fact the largest availible commercially here is 9L which is 95CUFT, so about what you guys are saying for your information the dimensions of the bottles are as follows;
9L 22" tall by 6.5" diameter approx
12L 22" tall by 8" diameter approx
pic below shows scale next to the typical 480cc Daystate/FX bottle.

By the way the 9L carbon weighs 5.1Kg, the 12L weighs 6.5Kg so about 11 & 14 ponds respectively.

If you cascade fill, you can get more usable air off two 30 minute scba tanks than one 60 minute scba tank.

Okay yeah, you just need to sell me the 127 cu ftLol
Order one direct, Aliexpress, you will get it in 10 days or so, price was about $430 including delivery from China, that does not include the valve though as I only use the Best Fittings one.

When I was looking at tanks, I found a bunch of different options..
I settled on piecing together my own setup 9X cf which is more like an 88-95 cf or 9L volume..
No matter where I looked [at complete setups] I still saved $100.00 - So that's why I went that route.
As mentioned above - Those Luxfer 106 tanks looked really nice, and I was close to grabbing one..

DRAGER is another nice option - if you can find the BIG ones - especially in NOS consition.

Okay so if you want the biggest one IN THE WORLD here it is! the 20L or 212 CUFT carbon tank!
Downside is the cost $3300 EACH, as if you want one they have to make 3 and destructive test two of them, of course if you wanted 10 you would pay for 12, which would work out $1320 EACH!
