The cost of the raw aluminium and the production process is actually the cheap part believe it or not, once the machinery is created that can knock these tanks out at a certain rate then the factory can make them until the cows come home. The expensive part of the tank is the shipping and commission taken by the shop or online retailer.

ture harry45 but there are good scuba stories on the net too. My favorite site is the myscubastory site. They have shark diver attack videos, true scuba diving stories, lost buddy stories, dive accident stories and videos. Type myscubastory into google and its the first one - enjoy :)

WoW! That was very cool! I have some aluminium tanks--unpainted--from the 60s that belonged to my dad. I wonder if they're still good. Some were filled as long ago as 1967--tags still on them--and never used. Is that bad? or is it good to help prevent corrosion? (Al doesn't corrode much but it does get a powdery surface oxidation.)

the tanks should be still good. how ever you should have them inspected and s dive shop. the main problem with AL is not "rust" [oxydation] but galvinis/ diss simler metal croution. IE where the tank and the valve meat.
