Posted on another Forum.... guy slipped and fell on the ice, and his Great White hit the jagged corner of a concrete sidewalk....





Tank has 2800 psi in it.... he is draining it to have it inspected.... Good Decision, IMO....

Inspected?

I am thinking that amount of damage would be an automatic failure (and would one want to trust it anyways- what happens if it falls on the same spot again)?

If that is a ninja send them the photos as well. I had several 50/4500 psi tanks develope cracking all over. Sent the pics and they said normal for that design but I could return it for free repair. Yours has damage beyond the epoxy so I'm thinking don't use it.
