how many worthwhile fills are you likely to get from a 232bar 12lt dive tank filling a 1.1lt bottle?
just curious
On here you will find thread after thread on this subject so use your search button.
But... cos Im bored it would go something like this. First few fills would be at pressure, then it would drop slowly until you wonder why you bother, but a dive tank should give you a good days balling unless you have a very expensive paint bill for the day.
If a few of you can pool together a few tanks, it's best to use one till the pressure drops, then use that as a bulk fill and the 2nd as a top up, and if you have a 3rd then that as a top up to the top up when the 2nd tank pressure drops. Using this method you would get near full pressure fills for most of the day.
Mine tends to get me through a day then give me between 1500 to 2000psi fills for a while after for dry firing, shooting paint down the garden, maintenance, that kind of thing. I have a 12 litre 232 bar tank. I got it at a good price used, but if I was buying from new, I would buy a 12 litre 300bar.
I always use search before posting, i couldnt find anything that suited my question. so i thought i would ask in this Fresh thread on a very similar subject
Maybe i have poor search techniques and someone will no doubt find a thread with the exact answer i was looking for.
I am also at work, am very bored, unmotivated and wanted to chat to someone
Thanks, i think a couple of 12lt or 15lt 300bar bottles would do 4 of us quite nicely
you might struggle to get a 15litre 300bar as they are a bit on the rare side, 300bar bottles are by their natuire more expensive than a 232 and you can only use a DIN fill rig on a 300bar bottle.
Out of interest I have a 232 12litre tank for sale, will accept din or A clamp fittings, brand new test (2.5 years to the next one) and pillar valve, after about £80 collection only as it's damn heavy. Would be supplied with an air fill.

The fishing place is probably supplying air fills for air rifles. Your mates compressor is probably for air tools / paint spraying and most likely runs at 6 bar. Your best bet is your local diving shop / site.
