I have a big 80-gallon air compressor. Do they make a fill station that I could use with it to fill up HPA tanks?

A normal air compressor doenst fill to enough pressure to fill a tank. Tanks fill to atleast 3k psi, home compressors only fill to 210 psi max usually.

There are a lot of side things. Size, brand, and shop matter. Also, to have a SCUBA tank filled you have to be special like me and be a certified SCUBA diver.

You can get tanks from metal shops though. I dont know how much to buy but you can often rent a 20lb one capable of filling a tank for like $12 rental

Me and a friend of mine got a scuba tank and a fill station off of ebay for about 130$. We took it down to a dive shop, and the owner said that they do this type of thing all the time, and it only cost 5$ to get it filled. I think it was totally worth it.
