Air bottle & dive tank

[Conspear]

Im thinking of getting a dive tank to fill up my air bottle,
Can anyone advise me on what size? Bar? etc
i will need.
I'll be running it with an ion and probably a 3000psi 1.1l bottle
and then it would also be good if you could explain and tell me about the filling loop or valve i shall need?

Thanks

i have no probs getting diving bottles,
i just need to know what size etc and what valves will foll my bottle.

Thanks for your advice

the standard fill rig will fill any air bottle as long as it has a fill nipple
you just have to see what kinda rig u need to fit ur dive tank

A 232 will be ok but your better with a 300 bar and either an A-clamp or din fill rig depending on your bottle.And where can do get your dive bottles from and how much because im looking for 1 preferably a 300 bar.Pm me details if you can please?

Thanks

I have a brand new din fill rig for £30.

if you only have a 3000psi bottle you're better off getting a 232bar tank as they are cheaper to come by and you'll run less risk of over filling your bottle.

232 bar is 3300 psi
300 bar is 4350 psi

A 12 litre dive tank would give you a day's play (just about) and you can pick up a second hand one (in test) for about £60-80. Some of the scuba related websites may be a better option as tanks on here tend to be a bit rare.
