does anyone know how i could use my air compressor to fill my nitro tank? the fitting on the compressor hose is to big and need a smaller one.

i am assumming that your air compressor is a normal one and not high pressure. normal ones go up to ~128 psi. high presure ones are usually $2600 to $4600 and will fill your tank and should already have the fitting you would need. even the normal air compressor should have the fitting you would need. if you do not have a high pressure compressor and have a air pressure amplifyer and do not have the fitting thand google high pressure air valve. you should be able to find it there.

Keep in mind that ALL the compressors sold at SEARS and similar hardware stores are all LOW PRESSURE, meaning they output LESS then 200psi.

The compressors used in autoshops, and manafacturing facilities use these LOW PRESSURE compressors.

The kind needed to fill paintball HPA tanks are VERY expensive, costing $4,000 to $10,000, and are most common with firefighters and scuba divers.

Even those are pretty rare with paintball shops. Instead, they often use a $2,000 booster combined with the 200psi compressor.

Anyway, if you really have a 3000-5000psi compressor, most online paintball stores carry the fill adapter.
