Dive tank air fills

[Rockford]

Hey, just bought a new marker, next thing I need to do is get the bottle filled! Ive phoned up my local sites and shops and they can only offer C02...........not ideal. Im also into diving and have a large 3000PSI dive tank, only thing is, my bottle is rated to 4500PSI. By 'under' filling my tank, how much air storage am I going to loose roughly? Am I right in guessing it is the same ratio as 3000:4500?


All being well with the amount of air, where would I go about buying a fill adaptor? At present I have a fill adaptor for my Logan S-16 Air rifle, but Im not really expecting them to be interchangable (lovely if they were) and how much are we talking to buy one?


Otherwise, Im not going to have the chance to test it until I get to a tournament with HPAC.
Cheers

pm tom allen for the fill rig, he makes lovley ones. where are you based?

Get a fill rig off of tom, well made and great support from him.
As for your fill ratio, etc etc. it's not important, a 3000 tank will do you for training or a walk on day, and because you made the good choice of bottle (4500) you'll be set and ready for tourney.
Go play and forget the maths !

Based in Bournemouth, would be needing it before Sunday 18th but providing he can do that, sounds perfect. What's his P8 talk user name? Or is it Tom Allen...........


Cheers for replies.

 

[danrandon]

yes you guessed it his user name is tom allen

His inbox is full , any idea how much he charges? I noticed one on fatbobs for £75, but that sounded rather alot to me.

Can't remember how much, but i've just e-mailed him for you.
I know he's cheaper as he makes them himself, but they are top quality and reliable too, i've got one and it's as cool as a fill rig can be.

oooh just thought
Don't forget that he may be on his way to campaign this weekend, along with everyone else here.

 

[Rockford]

Damn, didnt think of that, sadly I cant make campaign as I have to go to a wedding . We can hope, otherwise its a long drive to my nearest fill station.

Luckily i'm not at Campaign, i sell them for £30 without a gauge and £40 with one.
