Well, I was sitting in my dorm room tonight and all of the sudden I hear a bang and a very loud whooshing sound. Apparently the 3k burst disk blew on my HPA tank (good way to get the whole floors attention). So now a couple questions.

1.) Do I need to take this to an airsmith to have him fix it, or can I have one of the guys from the paintball club here help me fix it myself?

2.) The tank was at 2800 psi. Why would it go? I just had one of the guys at the local field fix a leak at the fill nipple and the 5k and nothing was leaking anymore. 0? 0?

I don't have a clue what's going on and I need the tank for drills on saturday. Can anybody give me some guidance? Thanks

Have a certified airsmith fix your tank. I wouldnt want to be carring around a high pressure air bumb right next to my heart, knowing I did it, not know exactly what I was doing. But thats just me.

On a serious note though, I'm in agreeance with Jim. In the grand scheme of things, isn't it worth a couple extra bucks to have a certified air smith do it and be sure that it is done right?

why mess up a tank just let the pros fix it or if you are really confident that you can fix it go for it

dude the fillers probably looked at the guage on the tank on the one on their filling system. Sometimes the guages can be innacurate, but its never a good idea to leave a tank pressurized for long amounts of time.

why would a 3000 psi hpa tank have a 3k burst disk anyway? makes no sense.
