Author Topic: CF 4500 PSI tank and regulator (Read 2938 times)

So I am looking at getting a new CF tank 70CF or 90CF (Scuba size). I need it to not be a scuba tank so my paint ball store can fill it. I see them at Pyramid Air but they are regulated to 2900, same for Air Guns of AZ. If I want a little more freedom in filling my gun because I am capable of watching an air guage, what do you suggest? I really don't want to buy a compressor. I could use that money for another gun and am not handy. It sounds like everyone who gets one has to work on it to make it work. I am not that guy.

I would like to be able to fill to about 3500 because some of the larger air guns will need those fill pressures.

Get and Airhog tank with the Jubilee valve and a Paintball adapter to fill it.

Thanks. I am debating between that and a Great White from airttanksforsale. I like to buy American Made if I can but also want something that works and will last.

I have the Tiger Shark from JoeB, no complaints whatsoever. Great White is a little bigger, so less trips the the PB shop if you don't have a compressor.

The only tank from PA that has a regulator on it is the 90 cubic inch tank. The 2 larger tanks have the jubilee valve. Unless I'm not seeing it, got a link?

Anyone wondering, I just ordered from Travis...when I got my new gun. I'm hooked. Horribly hooked.

Be careful, right now the CF tanks have a 15 year life. Even with a hydro no one will fill them.
after 15 years.

I don't care. I'm getting a compressor too so I can assure you it will be filled. I'm a problem solver.

FYI Fairly recent development; Digital Wave, a company out of CO, has been granted permission to inspect and extend CF bottles an additional 15 yrs. Link to info article elsewhere in this forum.
