I hope your talking about tanks and what material they are made from. Well there are pros and cons about having a carbon fiber tank and pros and cons about having a steel tank. Both types of tanks have the same psi or capacity but the steel tank is a lot heavier than the carbon-fiber. The carbon-fiber is a lot lighter but a lot more expensive. You also have to hydro test a steel tank once every 5 years but with a carbon-fiber tank you have to hydro test it every year. If you bang up your carbon-fiber tank on a wall or drop it then your screwed and the tank might be dangerous or not perform as well as its supposed to thats why people get rubber coats or some sort of cover for thier tanks but with a steel one its pretty solid.
