N252WD Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I know there are some threads on here about the O2 bottle, but I haven't seen any current ones. Two weeks ago, my Mooney was in annual, I wanted to get my O2 tank inspected (due in Dec) so it would be with the annual. Sent it to Safetech in Houston, they said it was expired and quoted $6800 for a new bottle (115 cu.ft) and reg. That seemed really high to me, so I am having the bottle and reg sent back to me, and will be doing some shopping around. I was wondering if anybody has any current location and prices on O2 tanks. I think I would like to stay with steel for W&B issues, but not sure how much it would effect it. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 What type of bottle was it aluminum or composite? I have so much lead back there a steal tank would be fine.... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peevee Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I swear I've seen them on precise flights website but now I can't find them. Price was around 1500 for a steel tank. Try aerox too but you don't want the regulator and valve. You shouldn't need a new regulator, is the one you have broken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N252WD Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 The one I have is composite. The regulator is still good but will have it overhauled since its out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamR Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 That is laugh out loud high. Try Mountain High. With no regulator $1,600, Kevlar wrapped like you have now. William 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCECASPER Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 This is the one if you have a 115 cu. ft. system. I can get you the 5% off if I have them drop ship it to you. No shipping charge and no tax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMuncy Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Shop around. I got a steel replacement for mine in 2009 from Aerox. At that time, their regular price was about $1200 and they gave me a 20% discount. (I think it was because I mentioned Dr. Bob's name).

N201MKTurbo Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have one that still has a couple of years left on it. I had visions of installing it in my plane, but the portables are working fine. Let me know if you are interested and I will check the dates.

N252WD Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Sorry, been out of country for awhile, dealing everything through email. Looks like I may have one. Gone from $6800 to $1600. BIG difference in price. I need factory replacement or PMA on tank, MH does not have it. Aerox has it, thank you for that site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCECASPER Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Aerox is what Aircraft Spruce sells also, so its PMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
