Hey,
I know there's a few of you guys here who also own Vikings, so I have a question. Is it OK to run a high pressure preset on a Viking?

Yes.

A lot of people have HPA tanks. I actually am getting a Crossfire HPA.

I wasn't talking about HPA tanks in general. I am talking about low pressure vs. high pressure presets on a Viking.

Yup, since most viks/excals come with the sidewinder reg, running a HP tank and then regulating the pressure down isn't a problem.

Check out pbnation.com. There's some threads about it there...I believe it's also mentioned on akalmp's site. There is some sort of benefit for running a low tank, but I can't tell you what it is because I was merely skimming the info. You'll probably find that whatever it is, it probably wouldn't outweigh using a high tank if you have other markers for which you need HP.

I meant HP, not HPA (habit to type).

I know a ton of people who use both HP and LP on their vikings. Most people seem to grab HP tanks casue they're more universal with backup markers/etc.

I myself have used a HP screw in, an angel air, and a flatline.

I've used nothing but HP tanks with my Vikings and my Excal. I've never had any problem

It's fine. That's what the sidewinder is there for.

Well it's already been affirmed, but I use a HP output tank on my Viking and have no problems.
