All true, won't try to argue, just the same, if my Yong Heng ever gets to the point of no return, I'll replace with another. WM

Think all's been said about Yong Heng, that can be said, many times over. As a newer platform, GX-CS gets more attention now as owners share tricks and tips. WM

Be glad to share Gauntlet story, just ask, if interested. As thread deals with regulated versus unregulated, I'll explain my preference for regulated. Pellets prefer specific air pressure pushing them for best, most consistent, accuracy. Compare the air reservoir in an unregulated airgun to...

JC, Not aware of an unregulated Umarex Gauntlet, regulated was one main reason I chose as first PCP. WM

LW, Sorry to hear of these troubles, no question, Chinese Quality Control is hit or miss. Not sure what to say to those who've tried numerous compressor platforms, brands and models, all ending in disappointment. Used to write it off as operator error or sub-standard clones, now think it's...

Question sanity of any Yong Heng owner not using hearing protection, I use same as for chainsaw. Safety goggles over glasses but switched to face shield since filling station is at eye level and I monitor airgun gauges for fill pressures. WM

Profile states last visit was January 2024, hope all is well. Unfortunately, as an older population, health concerns are more prevalent. Thoughtful of Thomas T's family to share of his passing, wish more would do the same. Not knowing of Flintsack's situation, still consider this as an...

Heat is a main enemy of HPA compressors, those addressing it effectively are the best value. Water, fans, low-gearing/slow fill and crankcase oil are popular heat-busting methods. The rectangular box, waterless, oil-less, quick fill, multi power, high-speed fan cooled platforms work but have...

That's your right as an owner. OP wanted information on tank size and the GX-CS4 so figured this notice from the manufacturer might be useful. WM

These rectangular box, waterless, oil-less, high-speed fill, multi-power, fan-cooled HPA compressors will work just don't expect more than a 12-18 month lifespan. Rebuilding success is rare. As stated, better off with GX-CS which uses lower gearing for slower, less heat generating operation. WM

Amazon ads for GX-CS4 is where updated information from GX-CS can be found. WM

GX-CS recently amended advertising to reflect GX-CS4 is NOT for filling 6.8L, or higher, tanks. GX-CS5, single or twin cylinder, is recommended for 6.8L and higher. No doubt some GX-CS4 owners are still filling 6.8L, or larger, tanks, as they did before GX-CS announced the change, your choice...

Most visually inspect air reservoirs for damage and blemishes, addressing, as needed. Internal corrosion, from introduced moisture, is an unseen problem that most responsible PCP owners take steps to avoid up front. Contact manufacturer for recommended replacement intervals, should any exist...

As I understand, FX dropped second regulator in M4, so only one. WM

A Biohazardman-inspired Yong Heng setup. Started with ($60 eBay) long, gold M50 molecular sieve but cotton-filled black YH filter, at entrance to M50, was getting soaked. Added copper-colored water-coalescing filter ($125 eBay,) problem solved. WM
