HPA refills in the midlands

[slayerklx88]

Just getting into the sport so im wondering who can refill my 1.1l 4500 psi tank in the midlands? The closer to Worcester the better.

Also would I need some filling station adapter?

Your help is appreciated!

Any of the following:-

A) A paintball site. If you aren't playing there, though, they may charge you.

B) A diving shop with the appropriate connector

C) A diver who has their own cylinders. You will need that connector, though...

D) Buy a diving cylinder and...that connector... It's good practice to match max pressure of cylinder to bottle ie 3000psi to 3000. If the cylinder is a 4500psi and filled to that, but your bottle is 3000, could be interesting (hopefully the burst disks on the bottle will work preventing over-pressurising
if you become distracted while filling). I'm not saying DON'T mismatch: if you do , just be v v careful.

Thanks a lot BDN, I've found a small local Paintball site that might do it for me

Nope they won't, neither will any other place I've found in the area..

Does anyone else know of a site that does give hpa refills?

Going to be a question of economics; if you're going to be paintballing for some time, may be worth buying your own scuba cylinder & connector. And finding a compressor nearby, such as at a dive shop. There are second-hand cylinders for sale; cylinder retest costs about £35-£40.
Otherwise, at the end of the day paintablling, refill your bottle at the site.
