HP tank on a Viking?

[afultz075]

Hey,
I know there's a few of you guys here who also own Vikings, so I have a question. Is it OK to run a high pressure preset on a Viking?

[digitard]

Yes.

A lot of people have HPA tanks. I actually am getting a Crossfire HPA.

[Flow_Tech]

yep,it will work fine as long as you have a reg.

[afultz075]

Yes.

I wasn't talking about HPA tanks in general. I am talking about low pressure vs. high pressure presets on a Viking.

[pointm@n]

Yup, since most viks/excals come with the sidewinder reg, running a HP tank and then regulating the pressure down isn't a problem.

Check out pbnation.com. There's some threads about it there...I believe it's also mentioned on akalmp's site. There is some sort of benefit for running a low tank, but I can't tell you what it is because I was merely skimming the info. You'll probably find that whatever it is, it probably wouldn't outweigh using a high tank if you have other markers for which you need HP.

there isnt,
bolt on any tank and "mow muppets"

[digitard]

I meant HP, not HPA (habit to type).

I know a ton of people who use both HP and LP on their vikings. Most people seem to grab HP tanks casue they're more universal with backup markers/etc.

I myself have used a HP screw in, an angel air, and a flatline.

I've used nothing but HP tanks with my Vikings and my Excal. I've never had any problem

[LeatherPants]

It's fine. That's what the sidewinder is there for.

Complettly alright,

We run a mix from presets to adjustables on the AKA factory team, Haven't found a problem with any yet really.

Hope this helps,

Catch you in the middle, and have your self a great day EH

Well it's already been affirmed, but I use a HP output tank on my Viking and have no problems.
