filling nitro

[dawgs712]

there is a sign at my field that says they do not fill hpa tanks while off gun. i didnt know you could fill them while they are on the gun. is this the only way to fill them?

[simon woodstock]

the only way i've ever seen it done and how i do it is the little nipple system off the side of the tank, i'm not sure if the pin valve on the tank is 2 way flow, there are lots of tanks that don't even come off your gun so i don't know, i don't see why they'd make it only 1 way, i've just never seen a nitro fill station that goes onto the pin valve and not the nipple

[dawgs712]

what tans cannote taken off the gun? and can you not take nitro off theun whn it is not emp?

[elTwitcho]

Tanks that arent screw in tanks are generally not taken off the gun

[dawgs712]

oh i see the ones that use a cradle. cna you take a screw in one off the gun with niogen still in it?

[Killers Are Quiet]

not quite sure i understand the question but, does the screw in tank have an on/off valve? if it does, you SHOULD be able to take it off w/ nitro still in it, as long as the valve is closed:)

[dawgs712]

i dont have it yet-ill ask the shop when i get it

[simon woodstock]

you can take it off, since it's not a mounting tank but i don't know why you'd want to, and also its kinda hard to screw it back on if you don't have an on off because the pressure is pretty high. do able and you don't lose as much air as you do w/ co2, but like i said before i don't see a reason to do so

your a nutcase

[dawgs712]

dedagain...who is?


the reason is i dont think it will it in my gun bag

[simon woodstock]

oh i see your problem, i don't think taking it off and putting it on should be a problem, when i was adjusting my regulator i took my tank off and put it on about 5 or 6 times with air in it

cool..thats why i want a 48/68..i just wanna be able to play wiht it/take it off whatever and not have to worry about like the flatline/armageddon ect or other high end tanks

[Killers Are Quiet]

hopefully your tank comes off easier than my flatline, talk about a b*itch.

[dawgs712]
