Just for clarication, pure energy do make 72ci aluminium cylinders for 3000psi which are approx 1.1 litres

Aluminium paintball cylinders are designed for 3000psi fills
Fibre wrapped paintball cylinders are MOSTLY designed for 4500psi, some for 5000psi and the odd one that is actually for 3000psi

Sometimes you find a cylinder that has had a differently rated regulator fitted. This means it can only be used with the lowest common denominator - 3000psi

The regulator pressure gauge can be used as a guide, where yours went up to 4000 psi this meant the dial could go that high, not that the system is meant to take that much. Eg I can only legally drive at up to 70mph, my car will go beyond that and the speedo is also marked faster

Cylinders will have 2 pressure ratings marked on the cylinder in BAR
The lowest is the operating pressure, the highest is a test pressure
