One time some scuba divers panted an aluminum tank with enamel and baked it. When it was filled to 3000 psi badness happened!

Badness isn't the word. I'm a SCUBA diver and those tanks are filled to 4500-5000psi.

5000psi when hydroed. Unless you know someone dumb enough to do it while normally diving?

[fun4now]

would the enamal have an efect on the tank?? or was the baking the problem as it caused it to become brittle and burst insted of streching a lil bit when filled??
eather way, that dose sound a bit past a badness happend.

4500 when diving though it seems like some of the dive shops like to skimp a few hundred pounds on you at times . Everyware i dove in caymens gives you about 75 pounds extra. They realy treat divers well down there.
