Greetings,
Been reading through old threads trying to find out as much as I can... Looking for a little more info.
The tank that came with my Nemrod Snark III is steel with 1/2 inch taper threads and appears to be part of its original package setup (tank, valve, backpack, regulator). First dive shop said it looked good inside, but no way was it worth bothering with a tank with those threads. I got it hydro tested and it passed, and the tester said it looked good. Second dive shop said there was crud at the bottom and they could not inspect it. It does appear to have a liner, so I am thinking of taking it back to the place that did hydro and having it tumbled or shot peened if possible. The guy at the second shop said it could not be tumbled because of the indentations in the base. What are others thoughts on this? Is it worth bothering with? I really would like to use it as part of the complete setup.
Thanks!
