Gassing up - Dive shop Q's.

[Skullpop]

Hey!

None of my local sites use Nitrogen or Compressed Air, so i'm forced to use Nitrogen/Compressed air fills from dive shops.

No, i don't want to use CO2 with any other gun, I'm gonna buy an Angel LCD. No comments about the gun's capabilities please.

How could I fill my 88ci (or 1.5 liter) 4500psi tank with propellant?
I think divers use a mix of Nitrogen and Oxygen, could they fill my tank up like that so it would operate normally without damaging it?

Also, if i purchased a Din (dive tank connector) to Quick Release (PB tank connector) converter, could i fill my tank from my local dive shop? Here's the converter from Tom Allen:

Nitrogen, synthetic nitrogen/oxygen mix or plain compressed air are all the same as far as running your gun is concerned.

The standard thing to do it buy a 12-15l dive tank (around £200 new, cheaper second hand) with a DIN fill rig (includes a gauge, on/off and bleed valve.) Get that filled at your dive shop and then use that to get several fills into your tank.

Too Expensive, and i only fire 500 paintballs or so, max 1000 in a day's play.

What extra stuff would i need to gas up?
I have an Angel LCD with no pipes to link it up, what do i need to connect it to the gun?

Here's the bottle in question again

1.5l 4500psi bottle with red Dye Cover (zip busted) and Crossfire reg - (test 03/2004) - ₤100.00

Well it's possible that if you turn up at your dive shop with your tank and one of the adapters you posted a pic of they'd fill it for you, but many dive shops are very iffy about filling anything that isn't completely "standard" (for a diver, that is.)

Best of actually going to your local dive shop and asking what they'd be willing to do

 

[Skullpop]

I've done that, but what extra tubes do i need to connect the tank to the gun?

 

[chazman]

you dont need anythig else the din fit straight in the compresser
then all you do is connect your bottle, fill it up any you away
you cant use this din connecter to fill from bottles thoe so its best to fork out and get a proper fill station to use with a dive bottle
which you can pick up second hand for about 100/130 ish pounds
(depends on the date)

Triple checking, as my local paintball site's manager says it can't be done.

The converter in my first post.

Ah.. Click on the dive shop link in my previous post.

That's a compressor pictured right? So this will work?

hi there, that convertor will conect to the compressor YES!!! but wont connect to a dive cylinder. as for connecting the bottle to the gun, you need a bottom line kit / asa which the bottle will screw into and the pipe will run into the foregrip / verticle reg

 

[Skullpop]

Asa, bottomline, on/off is all sorted, that's a different matter.

If it does connect to the compressor, then it means that it will be filled?

If it can't connect to the bottle, it means it will still be filled via compressor right?

-bottom line- can it be filled from the site i linked to?
