dive tanks

[2scoops]

sorry newbie question.
can i use a dive tank to fill a 3000 or 4500psi paintball air tank are there any problems i should know about
new 12litre tank about £120?

Ello.
Yep,lots of things to know.
You really want, if you can afford it, 12 litre 300 bar (4500psi) tank and fill station. This will be about £230.
Try s/h but dont think you will have much luck, I didnt.
I use a 232 bar (3500psi) 12.2 litre bottle. Mine IS a divers bottle, it has a diving type valve, known as a wet valve on it. These bottles need to be tested inline with diving regulations.
If you get a Dry valved bottle, that cant be submersed, you get a longer test, I believe.
Try the Airgun magazine Airgunner, there is an advert for refurbished tanks with all the bits in there.
I dont know if you drive or get chauffered but read my post WARNING.

To, be honest, other than the one where I work, I havent been to any for ages.
my one is run by the infamous Phill Ham, ex Pro Paintballer.
We do Paintball, Clay Pigeon shooting, Quad bikes, Archerey all sorts really.
Mail me if you want some info.
All depends what kind of paintball we are talking about, punter or walk-on sup air/hyperball type thingame dooberey.
