Follow-up on my REE adventure
February 18th, 2008 Filed Under Tips
To follow up from a previous post about getting a plus/+ rating on a steel low pressure (LP) tank…I bought a Faber manufactured steel LP 95 tank that was manufactured and hydro’d in 1995. The owner didn’t use the tank much after purchasing it and never got it hydro’d again. I recently bought the tank and figured I’d see what I can do with it. The original hydro did have a plus rating. I took it in for hydro (in 2007 - some 10+ years later). There was no REE number stamped on the tank, so it got a “regular” pressure rating, which made it effectively a LP 85 or so. LP tanks with a plus rating where and are marketed at their plus rating volumes. The hydro facility said they would accept an email or fax from Faber with the REE number in order to rehydro at the plus rating. I emailed Faber in Italy with the tank information, requesting the REE number. About two weeks later I got a response from Faber with the REE number. I took the tank back in with the printed email and got the new hydro with the plus rating.
