    Airtank storage

    I'm wondering what is the best way to store my airtank. I remember from my diving days that those tanks were best stored with air in them so moisture will not get in and corrode the inside. It this true with screw-in tanks? Is that hard on the seals?

    They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

    You're correct about the air portion but you don't need fill it. 100 psi is all you need in it when you store it. 100 psi is not going to do anything to your seals. I ahve one question for you,

    Why would you need to store it, I play all the time and I live in Canada. We play outside our igloos all the time.

      it's usually a good idea to keep about 50 to 100 psi in your tank to keep out moisture.

        I knew this would be asked. I grew up in Miami, so I don't know how much winter paintball I can take

          Air Travel with tank

          What about traveling with the tank? Should I empty it out all the way, or is 100psi safe?
