[pcpfan37]

looking for a compressor to fill 3000 psi pcp s and possibly a smallish 4500 psi portable air tank
something in the $500 max price range would be great

i already know its not going to be the best unit on the planet but if it will get the job done reliably thats all i need


any suggestions ??

What setup do you run for the water cooling? 5 gal bucket, ice chest, other?

I just fill my guns directly so just standard room temp water. For tanks you would definitely want to use some ice water or other method of keeping the temps down but I'm not really very knowledgeable on that aspect of it. I just know it works.

@pcpfan37 If you’re considering a Yong Heng then you may want to review this thread among many others. https://www.airgunnation.com/thread...s-on-yong-heng-vendors-request.1039603/page-2

Pcpfan37,
In addition to what Ezana4CE recommends, searches under "Yong Heng" and "best-homepro" in the archives might also prove helpful. WM

Yong Heng. It's not portable and needs a plug to the wall. But reliable and simple. Rebuilds are easy when necessary. I got one. All I use other than my Great White bottle from Joe Brancato

Sounds like too much monkeying around. How much is a real pump that you don't have to play with?

KWK, That would be a Dive compressor, $3,500 +.
