Cylinder gauge off pretty far.

The FX Dreamline main tube manometer is off by 0ver 20 bar. I wonder what brand FX uses for their gauges. I filled the rifle through 3 different methods and 3 different input gauges and all agree it's over 20 bar off.. Shows 20 under..If i wasn't checking both like I'm sure most people do, it would be over filled by that 20 bar mark. The front gauge is 25mm. What's everyone use? Huma? Wika? Huma made by Wika? Other?
 
I recently changed both of the oem gauges on my dreamline. The main air tubes gauge was accurate, however my regulator gauge was 15 bar over. I replaced both of them with 25mm sehkmet gauges and they have been matching my scba tanks gauge since.
I ordered a 25mm from Talon Tunes last week so that hopefully will get to me this week. But will probably put analogue gauge in the front.
 
The cylinder gauge on the end of this Dreamline is 25mm.. Looks like they have that one as well. Do you know who is making the Huma gauges for them?
Dreamline & Wildcat series share the same air tank, just different capacity if im not wrong. The gauge fits perfect.

I have no idea who makes them for Huma, it could be a Chinese company. Atleast the gauge is spot on now. I was in the same boat as you, tank gauge was around 15 bar off.

I double checked and the cylinder gauge is 25mm on my Dreamline. I'm sure a 23mm would work as well since it's the o-rings on the cylinder end cap that holds the protector in place. I see Huma has the 25mm one as well.. Have to look for a few more things to buy from them as shipping is crazy and doesn't change until it's fairly heavy.

I'm reading that a lot of the FX gauges are off.


I don’t know the percentage but out of 6 FX guns I have/had I had one bad gauge so for me it’s less than 5%. There are a ton more FX guns out there so from the noise level it might seem high but it may not be as bad as it sounds. Regardless FX will replace them for free and they are one of the easiest things to change on the gun so I wouldn’t sweat it.

I called them and one is on it's way. I should know pretty quick if it's accurate.
