MY freind's dad works owns a Semi-Truck auto shop, and he got us one of the huge tanks of c02 and me and my freinds chipped in to buy the filling stuff, and it averges ou to like 6cents an ounce. Just wondering if anyone else does this?

I use a scuba tank to fill my HPA tanks. Just go get the scuba tank filled at a dive shop... I'm not sure what kind of air specifically.

They rarely use nitrogen.
Take a breath. That's what they fill.
Nitrogen is too expensive to purify and blah blah blah. Yes it is more consistant, but its just about the same thng as air. Why?
Well air is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and a fraction CO2 and argon adn some other assorted gasses. It already has about 80% nitrogen, so to the player, HPA and nitro are the same.
High pressure Air. They fill it with air thats at a high pressure.. Sometimes you guys slay me.

We have a big ass air compresser that fills up big 18 wheeler truck tires, so we got a hook-up that fits on tanks (HPA) so now i can fill tanks. |

and does the tank need to have a siphon tube installed within the valve?
If it dosen't, can you just turn the tank upside down to get liquid?

My friends have a huge bottle to refill CO2 now but we are looking to get into hpa. Anyone know how many fills you can get out of a typical 3000psi 80cuft scuba tank into a 3000/45 bottle

by hookup you better mean booster because i know for a fact that tires do not get filled to 4500psi.
i don't do it. you waste money in my oppinion.
