When I got my PCP airgun that utilizes a fill probe, I thought about a way of protecting the probe and o-rings while keeping the probe attached to my air tank hose. I came up with the idea of enclosing the probe inside a plastic box. I had an empty 18650 battery plastic box that looked perfect for the job.
I placed the probe against the box's bottom half, drew a line on either side of the probe and cut out a notch with my pocket knife. I "guesstimated" the depth of the notch and it turned out fine. I repeated the process on the box's upper half.
I adjusted the width of the box notches so the assembly would fit snugly inside the notches at the junction where the probe attached to the male foster fitting adapter.
Now I can leave my fill probe attached to my air tank hose without fear of damaging the probe and its o-rings.
I'm sure any similarly-sized "clamshell" plastic box will work with this idea. Give it a try and protect your fill probes while keeping them handy. Bob
