HPA tanks and regulators

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Current gas setup
98c, vertical adaptor w/ expansion chamber, remote line, 20oz co2
When it comes to all this stuff I'm in the dark. I want to know if I get a HPA tank: (i think its HPA at least, whatever the compressed air tanks are) 
1.Do i have to get a regulator to add to my gun to get the pressure down to operating pressure for my 98c? 
2.What is operating pressure for a 98c?
3.Can i get HPA tanks that have built in regulators?
4.Is the increase in performance worth dropping a fair amount on a larger tank?
5.Can I still use a remote line?
6.If I have to buy a regulator to atach to my gun or a third party regulator for my tank (if they dont sell tanks with regulators) is it at all a good idea to set them up myself or should I shell out for a proshop to do it?
Sorry for all the questions I've just been thinking about upgrading for a long time and just havent been able to find good clear answers to al my questions.

	1. You don't have to. The tank has a built in regulator. 2. Use a high output tank. 800-850 psi tanks are quite common and generally affordable. 3. Yes. 4. Tank size depends on a few things. If you have easy access to air, you can get a smaller tank. If you can only fill once a day, get a larger one. 5. Yes. 6. Don't worry about this one. All you'll need is an HPA tank. They all have built in regulators, unless you specifically buy just a cylinder, which is pointless. Laster on, you can get a secondary regulator, but it is in no way necessary.
