Hi,

I'm getting a HJ Coopers MP180 stainless steel 180L cylinder which has a 550 mm diameter, installed. I'd like to install a drip tray as my old cylinder leaked and damaged the floor but the dimensions of the area are fairly tight. What would the minimum recommended size of the drip tray be? E.g. is 10mm either side likely sufficient (even if not ideal?) so a 570 mm x 570 mm or 570 mm round tray would be sufficient? Obviously it depends on what is available but I know HJ Coopers do an ABS one in 585 mm x 585 mm (which should be okay if it's suitable but I'd like to get a better idea of the minimum in case I can't find that).

Cheers
