Topic: anti-siphonPosted: 25 May 2006 at 2:19pm |

I have just purchased a black vision impulse with freak insert, and vertical reg
i purchased a VL revolution for the gun i am searching for the cheapest HPA tank possible for it, since i am already stretching my budget another option is to get an anti-siphon Co2 tank....I already own four regular Co2 tanks......my question is: is it possible to put an anti-siphon system onto a regualr Co2 tank, or do you have to buy a new tank with that already installed? |

Actually, CO2 can work on all Smart Parts guns, they say so themselves. It isnt recommended however, for obvious reasons.

with about $12 in parts from the local hardware store you could have everything you need for an anti siphon for all the tanks you already have, and they work wonderfully!! as for how to do it, otter customs had a good article on A/S instilation

The only difference in HAP tanks the way your talking is the amount they hold and their weight. The expensive ones are carbon fiber-wrapped, and its a good idea to get a cover to protect them, while the steel ones hold less, and are heavier.

HPA is awsome in every way shape and form, but if you need anti-siphon co2 KILLS normal co2.
Use anti siphon, do not use normal co2. |

Sig is WAY too big.

Anti siphon can be installed on existing tanks and you really cannot buy one "off the shelf." The anti-siphon has to be individually adjusted to curve to the top side of the tank when it is screwed home into the ASA. Difference in a $60 HPA and a $200 HPA? Weight! But you can find much less expensive HPA tanks through online stores, Ebay stores and through auction on Ebay. Used tanks with a year or two left on the hydro-test sell for $120 or less...I have bought them myself. |

Yeah, for those cold days, you definitly dont want the liquid Co2 getting into your gun, it really messes stuff up.

revy on impulse? doable, but why? id go with at least an egg, so when
YOU start getting up there in speed, you wont have to worry about the
hopper limiting you. you wont chop (VISION! woot), but you will be
capped.

They are re-hydro-tested at that time to assure they are still in good condition. Hydro-testing runs from about $16 to $40 depending where you have it done. |

Many people dont re-hydro test just because if whoever tests their tank deems it unsafe they just wasted 30 bucks that could have been used on their new tank.
And can anyone show me where I can find this anti siphon info?

If there is no visible physical damage, it is not usual that they will be rejected. The testing stations I have used do not sell tanks, so there is no incentive to fail one un-necessarily. Most undamaged tanks are going to make it 10 years which is 2 to 3 hydro-tests. |

And as I said, the risk of failure is low...and $30 is a rather small investment (about the price of all day air and play on most fields) particularly when the price of a new tank will be 3 to 7 times that fee. Edited by Bruce A. Frank - 28 May 2006 at 7:01am |
