Paintball tank question

[Bulletbob]

My son helped me get a 68ci paintball tank. I ordered a new valve to use it to fill my rifles. Got it put on today. All good so far. 

So now the question,  have a Hatsan Spark and I know it is not good to fill the bottle. I don;t want to tear it up as it works well for my rifles.

Could one put some air in the tank to check for any leaks or would it be a case of don't know it it leaks at 4500 psi till I fill it to 4500psi. 

I will be getting in touch with some dive shops next week. I am involved with music all of this week.

Thanks for any replies

God Bless

Yup this is true " it would be a case of don't know it leaks at 4500 psi till I fill it to 4500psi".

Pretty small tank so it will not give you too many full fills but you can tether to it once it reaches your guns fill pressure and that will get you many more shots.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I thought more about it and figured my question as stupid.

I knew that I would not get many refills on a tank that size. I just wanted a couple to keep my guns from becoming heavy sticks if I ever get to shoot somewhere other than my yard.

I am told that there is a air gun club close to me so I might get to shoot with some one else and I might get to hunt a bit. At the very least it is a new adventure for me, something I have never done before.

Have a great day and may God Bless

A 68 ci is not a huge bottle. I would go ahead and fill it once and see what happens. Maybe listen close to see if it makes any weird noises or struggles but I think the Hatsan should be able to fill a 68.

I had couple of these smaller 1 litter CO2 steel bottles from time my kids were playing paintball (still have that gear over ten years sitting in a closet in my garage).

I got couple 1500 and 1800 psi regulators and replaced on the bottle and I was tethering for some two+ years I had a basic QB78. Aliexpress have a wide range of (paintball tank) regulators and you can eventually rework for your custom pressure.
