Where do you store your tanks when your not diving?

storing tanks in your garage should not be a problem. A scuba tank will increase pressure about 5 psi per degree temp increase. That means if you have a full 3000 psi fill at 70 degrees, the tank pressure would increase to 3300 if the air in the tank went up to 130 degrees. Even if the air temperature in you garage were this hot, it would take a while for the air in the tank to heat up. More realisticly you'd probably see the tank at 100 degrees, which only adds 150-180 which should not cause any problems.

This is one reason you should be careful about leaving tanks in the trunk of a car out in the sun, because the temperature could easily get over 140 degrees on a hot day.
