Hey is it possible to fill up a 300 psi pb tank with a 150 psi compressed air tank for like car tires and stuff?

***martix_agent*** · May 1st, 07:55 PM

300psi tank? you mean 30000?

anyhow, a garage compresser puts out dirty, wet air. not ot mention it's not exactly easty to finda proper fitting to fill it and you'll onyl get maybe 1 or 2 shots out of filling a tank with 150psi.

I think Martix meets 3000

And the simple answer is no, don't try, you won't really get enough psi to function properly for more than a few shots, and Martix is right about the air quality and such.

What can dirty wet air do to yur gun?

Well first of all dont know the exact problems but it will ruin and slwoly destroy your gun. Secondly its been done.YouTube - PMR and compessor and thirdly it doesnt recharge fast enough for even a PMR which means using it to fill a tank is totally impractical because it wont be able to pressurive over 150 PSI. Sorry man been there and thought of it but without an industrial compressor it will not work. If you plan on shoveling out some cash here is a link to a paintball supply website that sells both the compressor and storage tanks able to fill paintball tanks.

Let's see, your going to run moisture into a small, delicate, electronic solenoid.....eha I see no problem with that....

Try the stickies in the new player forum, then the air forum

Short answer is no it's not possible to make a 150psi compressor put 3000psi in a tank...

Also a cheapish alternative to a high end compressor is buying a scuba tank $90-$150 dollars I think. Also a $30-$40 fill station attachment like this CMI Scuba Yoke Paintball HPA Nitrogen Fill Station: 104450079 Paintball Guns Store - Tippmann Spyder Ultimate Ion Paintball Guns

If you want you could even buy a compressor that is rated for breathing air that fills scuba tanks.

Would be expensive, but it can be bought.

Hey Hades7 again. My friend's dad has a filter on his. Can that change the dirty wet air into clean dry air.

***martix_agent*** · May 4th, 09:00 PM

are you still trying to use a garage compresser? Just stop, it won't be worth it.

It depends on the filter bro, but are you listening to us at all? YOU CANNOT fill the tank past 150psi with a 150psi compressor. It probably wont fire ONE shot at full velocity that way....

Just give up on the compressor, it doesn't work, or we would have been doing it years ago.

**kenny_1491** · May 4th, 09:29 PM

Hard heads ftw. I have seen it done, but it takes a hard compressor to do it.

Yeah listen to Matrix its not worth it at all. Just go friend people who work at your local paintball field and have them fill your tank. Or offer to work a little here and there in trade for a free fill up.

If you have a DM or Macdev droid you could hook it up and have more pressure going in than the operating pressure of the gun. But its completely impractical and would only work for shooting stuff in your garage. You'll get maybe a pod off the droid if you're lucky.
