Omega 75 cu. ft. 4500 psi Portable Air Tank

[Baldone]

Do I need anything else with this tank to fill a Taipan Veteran ?

Discription for tank

This unit comes complete with the cylinder, valve and hose, making it ready to use with any standard 1/8" BSP adaptor which comes standard with most airguns.

Just your fill probe,

Vinny,

That was what I was thinking but all this is new to me.



Thank you

I have the same setup. You will need a din to foster quick connection set up, a micro bore hose and your airgun’s fill probe.
Here’s mine:

The hose that comes with the tank doesn't have any of that?

I looked around some thing like this

Air Venturi Foster Female Quick-Disconnect to 1/8 BSPP Male, 5000 PSI

Looks like you only need a fill probe

That’s a nice set up but you should be aware of one potential problem. That pressure release button can be very hard to push to open. I had to change mine out to one that has a twist open release rather then a push.
The button I’m talking about can be seen on the second picture right over the top of the gauge at the 11 o’clock position .
it depends on how strong your hands and fingers are.

That button does kind of suck. I’m always replacing the o-ring in it and applying silicone grease to keep it operational. I like the screw vent/pressure release on my Air Venturi 100cf tank a bit better. But, that’s the only gripe I have, it still works pretty well. The tank, the gauge, and valve is top quality.

I have one with the HP3 valve and has a turn screw valve to release line air pressure. I feel the upgraded valve adds a lot of convenience and easy functionality to the unit. The entire package is of high quality and I recommend it.

 

[Baldone]

The one with upgrade HP3 valve, does that also have gauge to show tank pressure ?

 

[Baldone]

Also quick connect male foster I think

There is a one time home fix for that hard to push air bleed button. The difficulty is caused by the fact that the tension spring behind the button is too strong for the task when the hose has 4500 psi to bleed. That spring can be removed and a coil or two clipped off of it to make it much easier to operate.

On the underside of the valve where the button comes through it is held in place by a very tiny C shaped clip. You need to unscrew the large pressure gauge a few turns to allow the button and spring to be removed. Remove the C clip very carefully with a pick or it will fly off and will be nearly impossible to find. It’s tiny! Clip the coil spring, reassemble, and put fresh Teflon tape on the pressure gauge before retightening it. The button will go from being a bear to a being a pleasure. A button bleeder is actually more convenient if it isn’t too hard to push as these are in unaltered factory form.

Good tip, may try that.

The one with upgrade HP3 valve, does that also have gauge to show tank pressure ?

Yes it does albeit, a small one. Like a 23mm or so
