Ok... my HPA tank just came today, and I was all exited, so I went down to the store to get it filled... well, the mofo's can't fill it, even tho they said they would over the phone. they can fill 3000, but not 4500, so I am out of luck until they get their little air boost dealy... which of course, is on backorder. AAARRRGH...

whats wrong with filling a 4500 tank at a pressure of 3000psi instead of 4500? you just dont get as much shots per fill.

right?

I DON'T KNOW~!! :)

Actually, I thought of that since I was there, and I think I will give the guy a call and see. I'm pretty new with HPA tanks so I didn't even think of it at the time; I was in a hurry and on my lunch. Does anyone here see a reason why I shouldn't be able to get a 3000 psi fill on my 4500psi tank? LMK, please.

Of course you can....
Do you think the tank stays at 4500 psi the whole time, when you get a 4500 fill?

yeah they could but that would have been a waste of money to buy a 45 tank and only fill it to 30. i am not sure if my pro shop fills 4500 psi. they do 3000 but i not know about 4500

I finally conviced him to fill it for me. But if I'm going to use it on my TS G3, I'ma need a bigger drop. That thing is like a watermelon. :)
