My build is now complete.
AirTank
: $115+$15(s/h)
Gauge
: $150
Whip
: $17
Mesh wrap
: $4
Handle/Strap
: $25
Fittings
: $7
HydroTest + Fill
: $60
Total: $393
I probably could have cut about $100 from the total by building my own fill assembly, but I felt that was one area I shouldn’t skimp on. I could have cut another $40 by using the other
vendor
for the test and fill.

Expensive for a 21 cu in bottle outfit.
Lack of pertinent details leaves good or bad value speculation on what you wound up with.

It's 65.5 cf. I should get 40+ fills on my marauder with it.

Congratulations and enjoy. Seems like many are taking advantage of SCBA tanks with a few or more years of age on them listed on E Bay. I already had a Guppy which is the name given to a 17 cf CF tank sold by Air Tanks for Sale but decided I wanted more HPA storage capacity so purchased a Scott 60 min. / 87 cf EOL for $140 shipped on E Bay and a SCBA fill unit from Air Hog minus hose but with 1/8" Foster for $136 delivered.
