OK, I need more info about the scuba tank (cylinder).
I can get an air generator (for plumbing air to the car tires) whether I can get one, using the gas station one, or my neighbors one (which is my prefer choice).
Does anyone know what sort of accessories I need in order to pump air (such as using the gas station pump )into my scuba tank? So is there a way to convert? Also I need an air gauge so that I can stop once the air reaches to 200 bar.
If you know of such convertor, would you be so kind as to send me a link so that I can purchase from whatever website that has these things for sale?

Re: Air Tank 2
What's the maximum output pressure of the air generator?
My guess is that it will be nowhere near 2900psi.

David is exactly right!
A car tire generator will not produce enough pressure to fill an air pistol/rifle cylinder. If you must use that type of compressor, you will need a booster. There is only one left on the market:

You would be much better off to buy a dive cylinder at your local dive shop, and have them fill it.

Re: Air Tank 2
You need 850 psi to have enough for 1 shot, 2950 for a tank fill.
Shop compressors are 120 psi.
Are you the same Conradin that has been on this board for a decade?

Air venturi. I don't know anything about this unit, other than it's domestic & has reviews.
(And it's on Amazon Prime, so you can ship the thing back after it blows you up.)

Re: Air Tank 2
Found a scuba shop next town. But I do appreciate the input, now I know it is possible to buy a electric air compressor. I'll stick with Scuba for now.
