| Trails Of Doom Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Oxford, Ohio | Compressed air tank, can it be filled with pump?
I just got a compressed air tank off craigslist for $10. And getting fills in my area is a pain. My brother just got a Benjamin .22 pellet gun, and it runs off compressed air. It came with a air pump that has a fitting like a paintball fitting... Can I use the pump to fill my tank? The pump goes up to 3,500 psi?... I filled his gun last night, and it didn't take long at all to fill it to 3,000 psi... (course I would imagine it is smaller than a paintball tank, so it might take forever to pump up 3,000 psi in a paintball tank). I figured someone here would know the answer? |

From what I remember, you can, but as you guessed, it would take ALOT of time and work. I hope I'm not wrong. Best wait for someone who has more/some experience with them.

You might consider getting a Shoebox Compressor that Tom Kaye designed. Home << ShoeBox Compressors - The World's Smallest & Lightest 4500 PSI Compressor |

Lol. It looks like a floor bicycle pump, so you use 2 hands... I'm way too cheap to drop $500 on ANYTHING paintball, much less a compressor. This pump is manual, and you can literally take it to the field with you and fill it while sitting in the dead zone! Here is a similar one. Air Venturi G4 Hand Pump, Hose with 1/8" BSPP Threads. Hand pumps. Here is the tanks they sell... But, they say they aren't paintball compatible?... I guess because they are lower psi output? Benjamin Air Tank, 2000 psi Output. Scuba tanks & air reservoirs. I would have thought someone would have tried this before? Especially on this site... |
