air system question

[Tippmann Sam]

i am buying a Guerrilla Alloy Air Tank - 62ci PRO 3K there is an option to choose the pressure kit for example 'High pressure kit 800-920 psi output' or for an extra fiver i can get a 'Extra high pressure kit 1000-1100 psi output' or extra low pressure, mid pressure etc. can anyone tell me what is the difference and which is best to get

The difference is the output pressure, go with the one that your gun manual recommends you use on that gun.

not sure what the gun recommends im waiting on my etha delivery any idea what that is?

Manuals for virtually everything are online, try googling for it.

As for air system, buy one which has an output between 600-850 psi.
Majority of markers will run fine within that pressure. Should you ever come to purchase a different marker in the future, using same air system rather than buying another with a different output. Does that make sense ?

Ofcourse there are a few markers that need to run from a much lower output air system and very few higher than 850psi. Hopefully by that time, you would have got more experience with kit, and done your homework (google is fantastic search engine).

thanks for that i have just purchased a guerrilla 68 ci 3000psi pro aluminium tank with an output of between 800 to 920 psi so guessing this is okay?

That will be fine
850psi output was the original standard to be in line with the gas state of co2
Unregulated mechanicals may not work well with much less, again designed in line with the original co2
Guns with their own regulator will sort out the pressure they like which could be in the low hundreds internaly
Some like the dam may not like 800psi

Please be-aware that bottle being a 3000psi (3K), when playing at sites that offer 3K & 4.5K self fills, be absolutely sure you are using the correct 3K fill.

 

[Tippmann Sam]

could you explain what the correct fill is? isnt air the same?

Air is the same, pressure is different.

Fill rigs are normally marked with either 3K or 4.5K
3K bottle = 3K fill rig
4.5K bottle = 4.5K fill rig (if available at sites)

If 4.5K self fills are available, and the chance a friend or team mate maybe filling your 3K bottle, make sure they know the bottle is only 3K.

Note also, if ever the High pressure burst disc popsblows on your 3K bottle, make sure to replace with the correct burst disc for a 3K bottle.
