I certainly do not =93know=94, but it has been my understanding that at
some point Europa changed from the original lo-density material to a
hi-density material=85can anyone can confirm that?
Apropos to this thread, it would seem to be of value if we could track
the kit numbers and the accumulated flight times of those tanks which
have failed, as well as any other aspects of the failures which may seem
pertinent such as ambient temperatures, long-term storage while empty,
etc.
