Well, my eagerly awaited yoke clamp to DIN adapter arrived, I put it on my scuba tank, connected my AP's adapter to that, then screwed one of my PCP cylinders on. I then very slowly started to release the tank valve and wow - great! the needle on the cylinder's pressure gauge started to rise. I let ...
I hate to say it but if you'd taken my previous advice (given twice) and bought a tank with a 232bar din valve and gauge then you wouldn't have been having these problems now. Hi David I should have said that I purchased the 'yoke clamp to DIN adapter' using the link you provided, instead I said: &...
from what I've gathered lately in my research (and that's been pretty intensive as I've been looking for information into this 'new world' of PCP guns), scuba tanks must never be left empty as that's when trouble starts with corrosion of the inside of the tank. I suppose this would be the same for P...
That's not really true, you just slowly open the valve and increase the pressure. You can buy a regulator but its certainly not essential. If you ever go to a comp where the fill your cylinders you'll find they don't have anything - not even in Germany. That's interesting as I've recently sourced a...
Thanks David Levene for the link When I attach that to my scuba tank, my diver friend is saying that I would need a 'regulator' otherwise my PCP cylinder would 'fill too quickly', also, I've seen other set-ups that use an air hose with an anti whip valve (I'm really in strange territory now and want...
Hi Can anyone please tell me where in the UK I can get the 'in-between' bits that go from my newly purchased - used scuba tank 232 bar with what I believe to be a DIN valve, (I am confused about what it is as a professional north sea diver is telling me that it is a DIN valve and a shop owner that s...
I freely admit that I am experiencing a learning curve, having yet to fill my PCP cylinders for the first time. I have been looking on ebay for a used tank and I'm faced with a choice of 'tested' or 'out of test' tanks. I would like to ask the question: am I ok to buy an out of test tank (which woul...
Coming up to my first refills for my new Morini. To my knowledge, my nearest refill shop is 20 miles away and they'll refill for £1.00 per bottle but the 40 mile round trip is going to cost me a good tenner. Which would be the most economical way for the long term: a) buy a scuba tank and get it fil...
