    What size cylinder ?

    Hi,

    Is there an obvious reason not to go for a 12l 300 bar when buying new over a 7lt 300 bar seems you get 70% extra capacity for 27% extra cost ?

    Cost from Uttings 180 vs 230 ?

    Tried lifting a 12l bottle. I nearly put my back out.
    AA 410k, 3-9X50
    FN19 Hawke, 6-18x44
    AA S200, 6-24X50
    S10, 8-32X50

    Done a lot of diving so quite used to it but your point is valid.

    It depends how much room you've got in your car. The Webley 12l 300bar from JSR is a bargain at £180, but its an industry gas cylinder, ie, long and thin.

    I have both 7 and 12 litre bottles. I only take the 12 with me if taking my FAC gun with me, otherwise the weight of the 7 wins hands down.

    Just spoke to JST that 12l fellow is 5feet long. That certainly would be comedy to dive with

    Sounds like 300bar 7lt it the way forward and the £140 from jsr incl guages and delivery is probably better than any second hand one.
