yo dawg, i herd u liek air fills

[Hobbez]

the guage that displays how full your tank is is on the tank side of your reg. drawing from that port allows access to the full pressure of the tank. connecting this port to the fill nipple of anther tank will equalize the pressure in the two tanks. for example, hooking a 22 up to a 90 would result in an almost full fill due to the volume difference. this is however, very dangerous if done wrong. but, with a good valve, psi rated hoses, and some caution, theres no reason it cant be done. that being said, id much rather plod over to the fill station than carry an extra huge tank and filling equipment with me. please forgive my grammer, im on my phone.

My vote would be to buy a new, larger tank.

Actually now that I think about this you could do it really easily with a dynaflow/hyperflow tank reg. The push button on/off shuts off the flow before the gauges and bleeds the line when you shut it off. All you would have to do is take the HP gauge off and put a steel line with a female Q/D with the proper pressure rating, nothing else needed.

You may be able to use the normal output instead of the gauge port, but I don't know what the max pressure is on those regs.

Ooh... damn I hadn't thought of that. That just might do it... I'll have to look into this.


And yes, I realize that the previous tank wasn't exactly on the cheap, it was just an example of people already doing what I wanted.


Getting a second 22ci tank is not an option currently, as my tank regulator is not a screw in, and the tank is somewhat "integrated" with the gun. I may switch in the future, but as a general rule, I don't like to pull tanks off guns unless absolutely necessary. I have other tanks, but the 22ci is my favorite for reasons which should be obvious.

Hah... I've posted this pic before. The gun's changed a bit since then on the front end.

You should recognize the rail on that one, seeing as it's your handywork :P

As you can see, my q-loader is mounted on the tank, making tank removal a bit more involved. But this is the lightest and most compact setup you can have with a q-loader.

I've got that warp plate you milled for me, and I'm planning to switch regs and setups and get the q-loader off the tank, but I haven't quite found quite the right drop/mount to keep things in the same relative positions, and I really like where everything is currently. All that said, even if I go screw-in... I still wouldn't pull the tank off the gun unless absolutely necessary. Keeps the airsystem clean and reduces wear and tear if you never crack it open in the first place...




Need to get my hands on one of these Centerflag regs...

[Enemy]

your best bet would be to get an hp fitting the size of your 88 reg threads tap that to a hp steel braided line into a female fitting into a bleed valve out to another line with a qd on that will fit your fill nipple, other than that you can try tapping onto a k-valve onto a k-valve fill station...

also check the mini scuba tanks they might be threaded the same as our hp tanks but do remember to properly torque everything and use fittings and lines rated for atleast 500 psi above what your output source is as well if the output is higher than the input do not overfill your input.... and past that buy a viking and shoot alot more off of the smaller tank!
