Well my dad owns a welding business that also has a lot of helium, nitrogen and c02 tanks (my dad fills c02 tanks already). I was talking to him bout how i need a ride up to get my tanks filled(place to get tanks filled is 30 min away.) Then i started asking him how high he would be able to fill one of my tanks. He said that his tanks put out 2500 psi, and thatd be all the further i would be able to fill my tanks. Now keep in mind my local field dosn't fill nitrogen. So i asked him what the smallest tank he had was, there was a pitcher of ice tea on the table and he said as big as that(not too big, 1.5ft by 8in.) I asked him if i would be able to take his tank to my field and just fill my tank to 2500 psi and fill every other game. He then told me that i would need some adaptors and hoses(that can handle the pressure) to fill my tank. So does anyone know where i can find some info about what i need and possibly some links.

My dad knowing this might be a way to make money is kind of excited about this. Thanks for reading,
and again if i can get some info websites phone numbers and such is would be much appreciated.

That sounds like a big tank to lug around on your gun.

Also, most people assume that there getting there tanks filled to atleast 3000.

I doubt youll make money, but now you have unlimited air for tuning lol.

i believe that the pressure has to be an putput of at least 3000 psi....but idk...

paintball websites sell them idk if xpaintball does though

just go to google and search for paintball nitrogen adapters....or something along those lines

The pressure can be whatever output it desires, the thing is, say the output pressure for the HPA tank is 4500, but the output pressure on the tank used to fill it is only 2500 as he said, the tank will only have 2500psi max, so it will be filled about half way every time.

But free air is free air.

im not gonna have the tank on my gun, im gonna have it on the sidelines so after every game i can go over and put some air in my tank, and i dont use 2500 in one game so it doesnt matter if its not completly full

Oh, I was wondering why you'd need a hose to fill it. I thought you were talking about a tank your dad has that you were going to use on the field as well.

dopes it have the same regulator adaptor as a scuba tank? if so then xpaintball sells three different adaptors/fillstations that would work otherwise I say buy A scuba tank and a fill station, then you'll get 3k anywyas
