Upgrading to larger air tank, need some advice.

[AutomagRT1483]

Well, as the title states Im upgrading to larger tank this week and I need some advice. Particularly which tank to get. I currently have a PMI Pure Energy 68/3000. I was looking at a System-X 91/4500 with a 850 output pressure that was $199.99. If you have any suggestions, please let them flow.

Thanks,

I suggest getting a Crossfire 88ci/4500. They are as long as a 68ci tank, but wider. I have two Crossfire tanks and have never had any problems. System X doesn't exactly have the highest standards in quality.

make sure that your RTP guessing that you use a drop forward, has the clearance for the larger tank, mostlikely you want a large dropforward, mine is a deadon bullet, i think its like 7.5 fwd and 5.5 down something like that, thats gonna be quite a heavy gun

[AutomagRT1483]

Actually I have the Deadonpaintball.com Long Bullet drop forward for my RTP, so I need not to worry about that.

Picking the Perfect Tank.....

I agree above, I have a Crossfire 88/4500 for my X-Mag and another good friend of mine has the new 91/4500 High Phat tank by Crossfire. Both tanks have excellent flow and fit into 88 ci dye tank covers. I highly recommend Crossfire, I have dealt directly with the president and he and his crew are very professional and helpful.

Yay! geoff is getting a bigger tank so he can play at least 2 games out at my field(he shoots lots)

[AutomagRT1483]

Shooting lots is an understatement Nate


Hmm, I see a trend starting here with Crossfire. Anything bad with a PMI 88/4500 or possibly even and 88/5000? Or even a flatline?

Get a nitroduck tuffskin.

Ive never personaly owned any PMI tank, but there are several folks who play at my field, that have nothin but trouble with them, steel and fiber wrapped. The most common problem being leaky/faulty fill nipples and leaky pin valves.

Your best bet would be a Crossfire. If not, save up for a higher end adjustable. In anycase, if the need for # of shots is buggin, do get 45k.

[AutomagRT1483]

I'm planning on going to a 45k. I may even consider a flatline if the price is right or I could get it in a package deal when I buy my X-mag in a month or so, whenever its sent out to the dealer after it gets back from anno and is assembled.

Look into the 72ci flatlines, pm roguefactor see if he has any left.

Or a peanut tank in general. Got a Crossfire peanut and the thing rocks, best of both worlds, since it's lighter and shorter than an 88 stub, but still has more capacity than a 68.

I have an 88 and a 92 stubby from Crossfire and they are the BOMB!!!!

This past weekend I shot around 700 rnds in about 3 minutes during the last 3 minutes of final battle.

There were times I was throwing almost a hopper at a time and spraying in different directions at 50 guys charging.

I never had a recharge issue that I have had with ND and a few other tanks.

If you do get a crossfire, and get it from their site,
www.crossfireinc.com, tell em the Marauders sent you.
Might get ya a price break.... :)
