[PSUBS-MAILIST] CNG installed

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,
However you mount it, it will need to be protected from collision.
You would start descending fast if it ruptured.
From the beginning I was dubious about your concrete ballast tanks,
because of the weight in them. Once the air is out of them you have
a lot of weight in that concrete that is relatively high.
There is probably no stability issue that you can't rectify by adding
floatation up high & weight down low, but it ends up as additional
weight to your sub.
