Please help: white powder from carbon fiber tank
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2017 11:56 am
Hi Friends,
Its my first time to go to a dive shop and ask them to fill my carbon fiber tank. When I got home, I checked the preasure of my tank using a dead head. After checking, I removed the dead head and surprised to find a white powder like dirt Inside the hose (hose is new so its not there before the test), I also tried to remove the gauge(my set up has din valve and gauge that can be removed to see the din opening) to expose the din opening and found similar powder like dirt (seems face powder like texture)
Im concerned if this is normal, will this cause problem when accumulated? I disregard the aluminum corrosion since mine is a cf tank and brand new.
Please if you've seen this before, let me know your thoughts. Thanks Lads.
