Filling a tank

[ses_paintball]

A scuba tank
well i phoned my field and asked if they could fill my cuba tank. They said yes it'd be fine as long as i have a din fill rig........i said i have an A clamp but he didnt know what i was on about.

Anyway will the A clamp be ok or am i gonna have to go buy a din fill rig ???

Try finding a local dive shop, they should have all the gear to fill either type!

If the specifically asked for Din rather than A clamp then I suppose thats what they want. Din fitting screw into the face of the bottle head where as A clamp screws over it.

Id take it to a local dive shop as they are set up to fill it ect

i may of mis-read but instead of taking it to the shop to get it done properly incase you have the wrong adaptor (or whatever it is) your guna save yourslef a fiver or whatever and risk your saftey and other peoples?

If i've got the worng end of the stick i apologise

hi ses

got some tanks of my own just to let you know A clamp and din fitting are all about max pressure you can have with your tanks

A clamp can be used up to 232 bar tank max
Din fitting max 300 bar so you get more air in tank if its a 300 bar tank ect

these must be toms tanks from derby? if so ive used them and they work fine

yeah there the ones, and i think you have got the wrong end of the stick, they said they will have a look at them and if they are right he will fill them and if not he wont.

dive shops are usless. one of my mates called are local one up, and said "can you fill my paintball air tank up? its 3000psi" they said "yes, no problem"
he went down their, to be told his tank was Co2!! despite it having a fill nipple, and "3000 psi air" or something along them lines written on the lable!

I think divers find dive shops very useful, but they might say the same about paintball sites!

I use a dive shop in Edinburgh to fill tanks all the time and they're great (and IMO far more safety conscious than your average paintballer),apart from a bit of attitude from a member of staff one time about 'nutters with air-rifles', I explained to him that he 'shouldn't believe everything he reads in the Sun' and that was the last time he spoke to me ..which suits us both fine.
