    Posted: 23 June 2009 at 8:35pm
Alrighty....ill get straight to the point here ppl
i want to be able to fill my own HPA tank
i understand that that they sell i nice little device that lets u fill ur tank up from a scuaba tank
which is nice
but im from a family of do-it-ur-selfers
my da has a big air compresser in our garrage
and a few tanks
 
i was wondering if any body has attempted or knows any body
 
who pretty much fills there own tank?
if its even possible?
and how can i and what do i need to do so
 
i dont wanna have to drive to have to fill up tank every time i wanna practice
a little
 
xoxo

If your air compressor can fill up to 4500 psi. (or however big your tank is) then i could work.. from what i understand.

Most compressors can only get to about 800 though. max.

you need an compressed air cylander (like a SCUBA tank, not some air compressor in a garage) and the fill setup. for you, i would reccomend NOT filling your own unless you know how to do it right (wich you dont) OR have someone to stand there and show you how.
 
and it is possible, i have my own setup.

well slick i believe i was asking u what i need
i didnt want sum smart ass remark
im glad u know how ammo lord
and i was wondering if u can tell me what i need
 
i understand that u ned another cylinder
in fact i plan on purchasing two
one to fill and another to top it off
because over time the tank loses pressure
 
my dad has a big ass compresser
that u he uses to fill tires and a pistol wrench to remove bolts from tires
 
my dad used to be a mechanic so he has a lot of shxt
 
i simply say his compresser
asked he can u fill up tanks with that
and no not the tank for my marker
like a scuba sized tank
he said yeah sure
ull need the right parts though
 
any information u need as to help m e on my quest for free air....feel free to ask
dont be a diick yo
 
xoxo.....no kisses for ammo lord though

you need a scuba compressor, not a shop one. that shop compressor will only go to 800 PSI, not even close to 4500.
 
oh, and dont call me out, im tryin to help you out. next time i will be a dick about it.

What do you need? Around $8,000 to buy a high pressure air compressor.

You forgot the part where you apologize for being rude to the individual (ammolord) who actually gave you a fairly accurate answer.

I also recommend checking out this link.































Now that someone (me) was actually "being a <censored> yo" perhaps you will realize when someone (like ammolord) is actually trying to be helpful.

I've noticed that.  There are a few whose questions I ignore even when I see them getting bad advice just because of the way they came across in other threads.

To be a real you know what. You could have gave a list of a very quick search.

http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=165288&KW=compressor

Thanks for searching before getting upity.

I realize the new search thingy on this forum is retarded, but if you hit advanced and then change the options to "Any date" and "Topic" It makes it much easier.

do you like have
 some disease that makes you
 hit the enter button after like

3 or 4 words?

are you trying to write poems? like its not hard to spell either. there's this thing called spell check that tells you when your words aren't spelled right. and who are you to come in here and try to be a tough guy and freak out on ammo for nothing? he gave you a perfectly reasoned answer and you call him an ass. good going bud. i hope you dont take anybody's advice and fill your tank wrong and ruin it/blow it up in your face

Nice filter-dodge.  Don't do that anymore.  The Mods don't like it.
 
Quote i dont have time to be checking my writing about every little thing
Time or the ability?
 
Quote u could have just said

You weren't exactly forthcoming with the make, model and capabilities of the compressor in your garage.  We aren't mindreaders or remote viewers.  Please gather all pertinent information about what you hope to accomplish including what you have to start with before you post your question.
 
Quote it is possible though
Many things are possible.  Filling an HPA cylinder to capacity without contaminents with a shop compressor, sadly is not.
 
Quote i just got pissed because the main point of ur post was to tell me that i dont know what and how to do it
which was the whole reason why i asked
Again, you didn't exactly give us a whole lot of information to start with.  If you're bent out of shape about it, you have only yourself to blame.
 
Quote and then mack
here
pointing out that i acted rude
which is true
 
but i took his post how it was written
insulting
Then you should find this post just as equally insulting.  When you blaze another member here when you have little to no time on this forum, you will not get exactly a warm reception in these fora.
 
Quote then u go and give me a link with grammer  for dummies
ive read  lots of ur guys post both of u
and that was pretty weak sauce on ur part
And you didn't see why they responded to your post the way they did?
 
Quote but i do apoligize for being ungrateful
to ammolord
Good.  You are beginning to redeem yourself already.  Not many people do that here.
