What you are hearing is urban legends.

Faber manufactures more than 80 different scuba cylinders that are distributed in more than 20 countries. Each country has its own specifications. As such each cylinder series has it's own specifications that it must meet. If your cylinder is a 2400 psi with 10% plus it is just as it is stamped. A cylinder in Europe that is manufactured to 232 bar or 280 bar or 300 bar is just that a specific cylinder.

While folks here in the states like to believe that they can do whatever they like with cylinders and "assume" certain things about a cylinder for the most part they are just wrong.

Having sold more than 100,000 faber cylinders over the years I know my data and information is correct.
