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? ------------- It's like a new pair o underwear, at first it's constrictive, but then it becomes a part of you." -Garth |

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 ------------- http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stickemup6of.jpg">

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.

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. -------------

I didnt say people fail them on purpose. Im saying that some people dont want to run the risk of wasting 30 dollars -------------

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. -------------

whats the smallest HPA tank i can get, because i have to go to the field to fill it, ill just get all day air blahblahblah so i might as well go with the lightest possible
also- whats the difference between fiber-wrapped and not fiber-wrapped? ------------- It's like a new pair o underwear, at first it's constrictive, but then it becomes a part of you." -Garth |

As for size, it is impractical to go below 45 ci particularly if it is only a 3000 psi tank. Just requires too many trips to the refill station. -------------

I'd certainly rather spend $30 on a hydro test than $200 on a new tank. If you looking for a small tank, I'd recomend a 45/4500. (45ci, 4500psi) Save your money and get the tank you want. A 4500psi tank will get alot more shots per fill than a 3000, and fiber is far lighter than the cheaper steel tanks. -------------
