Best tank/reg for co2

[Skoad]

Plans are having a fiber wrapped co2 tank. From what i hear max flo's are good for co2, but they are expensive....I think i can get a super old one for cheap but i don't know how it will perform.

Plans are to have anti siphon tube in the tank along with the tank's reg to help keep liquid out.


any suggestions? hoping tank+reg will be under or around $100 bucks

also another thing i was wondering.....if i were to get a max flo tank for co2, how would they fill it up? i mean, they couldn't put the fill station cap on it because of the reg.....

If you have a fiber wrapped CO2 tank, it should have a CO2 valve (and therefore be able to be filled by a CO2 fill station). A good alternative to the Max-Flo reg is a female Stabilizer.

Yes, the tank will need a regular pin-valve not a regulator. I'd get the fiberwrapped tank with an anti-siphon, on/off valve and a palmers stabilizer. That'd be an optimum set-up for co2 use.

dont' think palmers would work with my setup.



i may try a friends remote instead of an alternate reg, just to see if i actually need one.

[warbeak2099]

Why wouldn't a palmers work? They have a model for almost every kind of use imagineable.

ok, the 4500 maxflo's won't work with Co2

smart parts still makes some of the older 3000psi systems, which are kind of like an impulse maxflo

they have the on-gun reg, and the large fiber c02 tank with a standard on/off valve on it, you screw it onto the on-gun maxflo reg, and voila! you have a co2 maxflo system


to fill it, just unscrew it from the reg and take it to any fill station like a regular tank


and the best part is if you buy the tank directly from SP, they pre-install an anti-siphon matched to the threading of the ASA, or the on-gun bottomline max flo in this case, so that it is alwasy pointing upwards

whoops, yea im sure one of the palmers will work, i must have been thinkin of something else.
