    Question on siphon tube

    I am building some 20 oz. CO2 siphon tanks. Not "anti-siphon". Need some help. I took apart my old siphon tank to see how they are built. It has a 1/8" O.D. supply line attached to the valve. i CANNOT FIND ANY 1/8" o.d. lines. So my qustion is, can I use 1/4" O.D. lines or will that feed it too much liquid? Any help would be apprieciated.undefined
    Thanks, MrP

    uhhh why may i ask are you building siphon kits? unless you're a qualified airsmith i really suggest you dont use them, or for that matter make them.

      I use brake line, and brass compression fittings to fit them. Diameter is not important but 1/4' sounds excessively big.

        =' (face with mouth to the side.. yes the dots a mouth.... get it? ..no? owel...) what ever happened to safety first? doing this could mess up you CO2 tank's valve, and i seriously doubt the PB community needs another death form a flying CO2 canister again...

          Got them up and running. Thanks for your help. I ended up using airbrake supply lines. Used them over the weekend on my Vectors.

            Why would that be non-safe? Many older guns run BETTER with liquid. A siphon thing on a tank would not make the gun any less safe, unless you are thinking about the tank coming unscrewed and all.
