Is a full scuba tank warmer than a half filled scuba tank?

It can feel warmer than a half filled tank (especially when it has just been filled) because of all of the molecular activity in the tank and some of this is transferred in to heat energy.. If the tank is left for some time it will drop in temperature to the point where it is similar to the half filled tank. The reason it is warm when it has just been filled is simply down to the hear from the compressor and the friction caused by the air molecules as they enter the tank.
