Like the title says I have a old crossfire reg on a long 68/3000 aluminum tank. Is it possible to switch the screw in deal to another tank.

I think it is, but it would have to be a 3k psi tank. The reg most likely wouldnt work with a 4.5 psi tank.

I'm not sure how you go about doing it though...

If someone could install my crossfire reg on a 68/3k fiber wrapped tank, I'd be quite happy :)

hmm.. I love this forum. A couple minutes after posting and I get a reply. Thanx for the help. If anyone has anymore input I'd appreciate it.

I'd appreciate it too, I'm sort of wondering how much it would cost to replace my 47ci aluminum tank with a 68ci fiber-wrapped...I wonder how much cheaper than a whole new tank+reg that would be

Someone out there has to know! Come help us!

Air American offers reg replacements.

Don't they install their regs on your tank though? I was hoping to move my reg onto a new tank. I don't know any tank manufacturers besides Carlton, although I know there are more. Maybe I'll just look around for tanks and their prices by starting with a Carlton search...

does that mean they'd through my crossfire reg onto a Air America tank? or do they switch the whole thing and I pay the difference? I'm confused. Clarification would be nice.

You have two options:

1. You send your system, working or not (find a broken reg and buy it), with a tank that will pass hydro (they use your tank), it is (approx) 100 for raptor, 230 for 'geddon, 250 for 'apoc.

2. Assuming you have a 'geddon, you send your tank, they put the neck on it for 100. That's because 'geddon is a screw-in bolt on combo for those of you not familiar with it.

See I don't want this bottle anymore. The reg is ok but I don't want the long bottle. (It was manufactured in 12/96 and is about as long as a 114) Anyone know where I can find a new bottle to through this 3000 reg onto it?

Other than perhaps the rupture disc or a reg spring, what components of the regulator itself make it incapable of handling a higher pressure? Would these specific components be able to be swapped with those that would handle the pressure? Most regs that I have seen seem rather simple, and I cannot think of why they shouldn't be able to handle a higher pressure with anything more than a few simple, and inexpensive, parts.

If you have the tank, and you have the reg, you can take them both to an airsmith and he/she will assemble it so it works. Same thing goes with dissassembling.
