Co2/air tank question

[Robinator]

when i was looking through some of the tanks for sale in on the american sites the other day. i saw that some of the fibre wrapped 68ci tanks were for sale under Co2 useage... i have a shocker which are renowned for poor consumption at the best of times, and as i am now going into the tourney scene and am a back /mid player i need to shoot more than my 20oz permits. So i was wondering.. could i buy an air tank and stick a smart parts co2 valve and anti-syphon on it and just use the extra volume of the 1.1 tank to get me the extra shots i need?

Not sure about the co2 valve, but try putting an air valve on it and you can use co2 in it, but dont switch between air/co2 too often or you will ruin the bottle.

I would have to put an anti-syphon tube into the tank wouldn't i?
the pressure of the Co2 remains the same doesn't it?

 

[Philip]

Yep, anti-siphon would be needed, and the pressure will always be 800-850psi.
