BURNOUT.......absolutely.........You just have know your limits and have more than one go-to hobby. I like to keep it simple so I can take a break from shooting PCP air rifles to 22 rimfire silhouette and a easy 200 mile ride on my Harley with old friends.....

YES......I ordered a fill adapter from a New Jersey company on December 14.......it took 25 days to get to Cleveland,Ohio!!! The mail man said Cleveland was swamped with so many packages they could not get them into the building.......the USPS had to rent a building for storage!!!

I used a 4x4x1/16 thick steel plate a local welding shop gave me because it was rusty.....Then I made some ell brackets and fastened it to the top of a small light duty wheel barrel....I can easily move it anywhere in the yard and stand it up on the front wheel. I attached some thick cardboard...

Hi Centercut and everyone......Update on the cga347 leaking o-ring......I replaced the original nipple/o-ring with the solid brass nipple and the problem is fixed....no more leak..no more o-ring......Thanks again to everyone who helped and shared your knowledge....Porkey

Hi Cosmic......I am glad you are ok......I have a YH on order, now you have me scared!!!!!! I was thinking could this been caused by oil detonated , extreme pressure......what type of oil did you use. Porkey

Hi JK.......I have the exact same Scott valve in the picture at the top of the page.....

It definitely is a 4500 psi tank, I was thinking maybe someone changed the valve so i tried a cga346 adapter......the 346 fit the tank but would not tighten up because the nipple is shorter

Hi Centercut and Eaglebeak, It looks like the black rubber o-ring seats in the valve with a very slight taper......I just don’t like this hand tight design I even tried to tighten it with a large pair of pliers and it still leaks.......Maybe this valve is not designed for o-ring??? I hope the...

Hi Centercut and everyone on the forum........here is the picture cga347 fill adapter and tank valve......I was thinking maybe I should try a new fill adapter that you tighten with a wrench and one that does NOT use a rubber o-ring........I have seen pictures of that type on e-bay???
