re: Question on scaling

Actually, I worked it out once, and it turned out that mathematically, a dozen small tanks at a given pressure weighed exactly the same as a single large tank for the same volume. Try it. Of course, in real life, things like manufacturing techniques, safety factors, minimum gauges, supporting plumbing (especially), drainage problems, and other factors screw this up.
